With the scaling of technology, power grid noise is becoming increasingly significant for circuit performance. A typical power grid circuit contains millions of linear elements, m...
For multi-gigahertz synchronous designs in nanometer technologies, multiple clock cycles are needed to cross the global interconnects, thus making it necessary to have pipelined g...
With process scaling, leakage power reduction has become one of the most important design concerns. Multi-threshold techniques have been used to reduce runtime leakage power witho...

The negative effect of electromigration on signal and power line lifetime and functional reliability is an increasingly important problem for the physical design of integrated cir...
The advent of strong multi-level partitioners has made topdown min-cut placers a favored choice for modern placer implementations. We examine terminal propagation, an important st...
