We develop a projected-subgradient primal-dual Lagrange optimization for global placement, that can be instantiated with a variety of interconnect models. It decomposes the origin...
Gate sizing in VLSI design is a widely-used method for power or area recovery subject to timing constraints. Several previous works have proposed gate sizing heuristics for power ...
Elevated chip temperatures are true limiters to the scalability of computing systems. Excessive runtime thermal variations compromise the performance and reliability of integrated...
The optimum wire shape to produce the minimum signal propagation delay across an RLC line is shown to exhibit a general exponential form. The line inductance makes exponential tap...
With the thermal effect, improper analog placements may degrade circuit performance because the thermal impact from power devices can affect electrical characteristics of the ther...
