Current source based cell models are becoming a necessity for accurate timing and noise analysis at 65nm and below. Voltage waveform shapes are increasingly more difficult to repr...
Physical synthesis tools are responsible for achieving timing closure. Starting with 130nm designs, multiple cycles are required to cross the chip, making latch placement critical...

Ignoring the effect of simultaneous switching for logic gates causes silicon failures for high performance microprocessor designs. The main reason to omit this effect is the run...
Background: To infer homology and subsequently gene function, the Smith-Waterman (SW) algorithm is used to find the optimal local alignment between two sequences. When searching s...
