This paper addresses the issue of timing driven gate duplication for delay optimization. Gate duplication has been used extensively for cutset minimization but the usefulness in m...
Chip design in the nanometer regime is becoming increasingly difficult due to process variations. ASIC designers have adopted statistical optimization techniques to mitigate the e...
In an attempt to enable the cost-effective production of lowand mid-volume application-specific chips, researchers have proposed a number of so-called structured ASIC architectur...
This paper presents a method with an evolutionary approach to some of the tasks of integrated-circuit (IC) design. The work is focused on application-specific integrated circuits ...
Genetic programming is known to be capable of creating designs that satisfy prespecified high-level design requirements for analog electrical circuits and other complex structures...
