Guarded evaluation is a power reduction technique that involves identifying sub-circuits (within a larger circuit) whose inputs can be held constant (guarded) at specific times d...
This paper presents a generic approach to mesh global optimization via node movement, based on a discrete graph-theoretic model. Mesh is considered as an electric system with lump...
This work studies the optimality and stability of timing-driven placement algorithms. The contributions of this work include two parts: 1) We develop an algorithm for generating s...
We consider the problem of finding an optimal clock schedule, i.e. optimal arrival times for clock signals at latches of a VLSI chip. We describe a general model which includes al...
Abstract--In sub-100 nm CMOS processes, delay and leakage power reduction continue to be among the most critical design concerns. We propose to exploit the recent availability of f...
