In this paper, the problem of bus-driven floorplanning is addressed. Given a set of blocks and the bus specification (the width of each bus and the blocks that the bus need to g...
In this paper we introduce a new method of performing direct solution of the harmonic balance Jacobian. For examples with moderate number of harmonics and moderate to strong nonli...
The identification of speedpaths is required for post-silicon (PS) timing validation, and it is currently becoming timeconsuming due to manufacturing variations. In this paper we...
Clock network is a vulnerable victim of variations as well as a main power consumer in many integrated circuits. Recently, link-based non-tree clock network attracts people's...
In this paper, we develop a mixed-size placement tool, Dragon2005, to solve large scale placement problems effectively. A top-down hierarchical approach based on min-cut partition...
