This paper presents a linear time algorithm to reduce a large RC interconnect network into subnetworks which are approximated with lower order equivalent RC circuits. The number o...
This paper describes two techniques to quantify energy consumption of burst-modeasynchronous(clock-less)controlcircuits. The circuit specifications consideredare extended burst-m...

To handle modern routing with nanometer effects, we need to consider designs of variable wire widths and spacings, for which gridless routers are desirable due to their great fle...
In the past, a priori interconnect prediction, based on Rent’s rule, has been applied mainly for technology evaluation and roadmap applications. These applications do not requir...
This paper describes a function-based timing-driven optimization technique for the synthesis of multi-level logic circuits. Motivated by the principles of parallel prefix computat...
