We propose a timing-oriented logic optimization technique called Generalized De Morgan (GDM) transform, that integrates gate resizing, net buffering and De Morgan transformation. ...
The classic algorithm for optimal buffer insertion due to van Ginneken has time and space complexity O(n2 ), where n is the number of possible buffer positions. We present a new a...
— Circuit and processor designs will continue to increase in complexity for the foreseeable future. With these increasing sizes comes the use of wide buses to move large amounts ...
Late CMOS scaling reduces device reliability, and existing work has studied the permanent SER (soft error rate) for configuration memory in FPGA extensively. In this paper, we sh...
