This paper presents a new compaction algorithm to improve the yield of IC layout. The yield is improved by reducing the area where the faults are more likely to happen known as cr...
This paper presents an architectural study of a scalable system-level interconnection template. We explain why the shared bus, which is today's dominant template, will not me...
This paper presents a method for redundancy identification (RID) using multi-node logic implications. The algorithm discovers a large number of direct and indirect implications b...
We address the problem of inserting repeaters, selected from a library, at feasible locations in a placed and routed network to meet user-specified delay constraints. We use mini...
Dynamic power management saves power by shutting down idle devices. Several management algorithms have been proposed and demonstrated effective in certain applications. We quantit...
