— New back-end design for manufacturability rules have brought guarantee rules for interconnect matching. These rules indicate a certain capacitance matching guarantee given spac...
The general-purpose precise interrupt mechanism, which has long been used to handle exceptional conditions that occur infrequently, is now being used increasingly often to handle ...
Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) is emerging as a solution for predicting the timing characteristics of digital circuits under process variability. For computing the stat...

Abstract— We present in this paper a new interconnect-driven multilevel floorplanning, called IMF, to handle large-scale building-module designs. Unlike the traditional multilev...
