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...
e data structures are abstractions of simple records and pointers. They impose a shape invariant, which is verified at compiletime and exploited to automatically generate code fo...
As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay has become the bottleneck of the circuit timing. As one of the most powerful techniques for interconnect optimiz...
We address the issue of multicasting and broadcasting in wide area WDM networks in which a source broadcasts a message to all members in S V. We formalize it as the optimal multi...
—Switch-trees are peer-to-peer algorithms for building and improving end-host multicast trees. Nodes switch parents to reduce tree cost or lower source-member latency. A node swi...
