− In this paper, we present a new timing-driven placement algorithm, which attempts to minimize zigzags and crisscrosses on the timing-critical paths of a circuit. We observed th...
This paper approaches statistical optimization by examining gate delay variation models and optimization objectives. Most previous work on statistical optimization has focused exc...

Separate optimizations of logic and layout have been thoroughly studied in the past and are well documented for common benchmarks. However, to be competitive, modern circuit optim...
Just-in-time (JIT) compilation has previously been used in many applications to enable standard software binaries to execute on different underlying processor architectures. Howev...
