A minimum spanning tree (MST) with a small diameter is required in numerous practical situations. It is needed, for example, in distributed mutual exclusion algorithms in order to...
In this article, we focus on numerical algorithms for which, in practice, parallelism and accuracy do not cohabit well. In order to increase parallelism, expressions are reparsed,...

— Due to its great flexibility, gridless routing is desirable for nanometer circuit designs that use variable wire widths and spacings. Nevertheless, it is much more difficult ...
— Starting at the 65nm node, stress engineering to improve performance of transistors has been a major industry focus. An intrinsic stress source – shallow trench isolation –...

Abstract— Deep submicron technology scaling has two major ramifications on the design process. First, reduced feature size significantly increases wire delay, thus resulting in...
