We present a set of techniques for placement-coupled, timingdriven logic replication. Two components are at the core of the approach. First is an algorithm for optimal timingdrive...
In this paper, a simulation-based synthesis tool, AMIGO, for analog cell sizing is presented. AMIGO is based upon genetic optimization techniques adapted to circuit sizing. A fram...
In this paper, we propose a new physical synthesis methodology, PDL, which relaxes the timing constraints to obtain best optimality in terms of layout quality and timing quality. ...
Optimizing power consumption at high-level is a critical step towards power-efficient digital system designs. This paper addresses the power management problem by scheduling a giv...
-- Timing optimization is an important goal of global routing in deep submicron era. To guarantee the timing performance of the circuit, merely adopting topology optimization becom...
