Abstract— As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay becomes the bottleneck of circuit performance. Compared to gate delays, wires are becoming increasing...
In this paper we present a new efficient algorithm for retiming sequential circuits with edge-triggered registers under both setup and hold constraints. Compared with the previous...
— Power gating is a circuit technique that enables high performance and low power operation. One of the challenges in power gating is sizing the sleep transistor which is used to...

We recently introduced symbolic timing simulation (STS) using data-dependent delays as a tool for verifying the timing of fullcustom transistor-level circuit designs, and for the ...
We present a new technique for compiling run-time reconfigurable hardware designs. Run-time reconfigurable embedded systems can deliver promising benefits over implementations in ...
