—High-frequency circuits are notoriously difficult to lay out because of the tight coupling between device-level placement and wiring. Given that successful electrical performan...
-- By taking advantage of the redundancy in a 4-2 compressor, we reduce the number of transitions in carry-save adder trees that are common in large multipliers. Three new 4-2 comp...
The increasing amount of genomic and molecular information is the basis for understanding higherorder biological systems, such as the cell and the 15 organism, and their interacti...
As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
We present a new min-cut based placement algorithm for large scale sea-of-gates arrays. In the past all such algorithms used a xed cut line sequence that is determined before min...
