To perform digital logic in CMOS in a truly adiabatic (asymptotically thermodynamically reversible) fashion requires that logic transitions be driven by a quasitrapezoidal (flat-t...
The growing adoption of reconfigurable architectures opens new implementation alternatives and creates new design challenges. In the case of dynamically reconfigurable architectur...
In designing FPGAs, it is important to achieve a good balance between the number of logic blocks, such as Look-Up Tables (LUTs), and wiring resources. It is dicult to nd an optim...
In this paper we introduce the concept of zero-change transformations to quantify the suboptimality of existing placers. Given a netlist and its placement from a placer, we formal...
A new approach for automated synthesis of analog and mixed-signal systems is presented. The heterogeneous genetic optimization strategy starts from a functional description and ev...
