We consider the problem of finding an optimal clock schedule, i.e. optimal arrival times for clock signals at latches of a VLSI chip. We describe a general model which includes al...
This paper considers online stochastic optimization problems where uncertainties are characterized by a distribution that can be sampled and where time constraints severely limit t...
The Learnable Evolution Model (LEM) involves alternating periods of optimization and learning, performa extremely well on a range of problems, a specialises in achieveing good resu...
As the process technology advances into the deep submicron era, interconnect plays a dominant role in determining circuit performance. Buffer insertion/sizing and wire sizing are ...

We propose a timing-oriented logic optimization technique called Generalized De Morgan (GDM) transform, that integrates gate resizing, net buffering and De Morgan transformation. ...
