Scaling is currently the most popular technique used to improve performance metrics of CMOS circuits. This cannot go on forever because the properties that are responsible for the ...
In this paper an efficient cone oriented circuit partitioning method is presented, which significantly speeds up automatic test pattern generation for combinational circuits. The ...
Global placement of hypergraphs is critical in the top-down placement of large timing-driven designs 10, 16 . Placement quality is evaluated in terms of the half-perimeter wirelen...
