This paper presents a novel repeater insertion algorithm for the power minimization of realistic interconnect trees under given timing budgets. Our algorithm judiciously combines ...
Abstract. Maximum likelihood (ML) is an increasingly popular optimality criterion for selecting evolutionary trees [Felsenstein 1981]. Finding optimal ML trees appears to be a very...
As the process technology enters the nanometer era, reliability has become a major concern in the design and manufacturing of VLSI circuits. In this paper we focus on one reliabil...
