This paper considers the problem of determining an optimal clock skew schedule for a synchronous VLSI circuit. A novel formulation of clock skew scheduling as a constrained quadrat...
In this paper we present new methods for fast justification and propagation in the implication graph (IG) which is the core data structure of our SAT based implication engine. As ...
We present a novel methodology for design space exploration using a two-steps scheme to optimize the number of virtual channel buffers (buffers take the premier share of the route...
modules can be handled in constraint graphs efficiently. This Floorplan area minimization is an important problem because many modules have shape flexibilities during the floorplan...

Estimation of static and dynamic energy of caches is critical for high-performance low-power designs. Commercial CAD tools performing energy estimation statically are not aware of...
