Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
—Long test application time and high temperature have become two major issues of system-on-chip (SoC) test. In order to minimize test application times and avoid overheating duri...
We describe two Go programs, ¢¡¤£¦¥ and ¢¡¤§¨£ , developed by a Monte-Carlo approach that is simpler than Bruegmann’s (1993) approach. Our method is based on Abra...
We present in this paper a new interconnect-driven multilevel floorplanner, called interconnect-driven multilevelfloorplanning framework (IMF), to handle large-scale buildingmodule...
Abstract— Power consumption has become a crucial problem in modern circuit design. Multiple Supply Voltage (MSV) design is introduced to provide higher flexibility in controllin...
