We present a novel detailed placement technique that accounts for systematic through-pitch variations to reduce leakage. Leakage depends nearly exponentially on linewidth (gate le...
The existing temperature-aware clock embedding assumes a time-invariant temperature gradient. However, it is not solved how to find the worst-case temperature gradient leading to...
Abstract. Synchronous programs may contain cyclic signal interdependencies. This prohibits a static scheduling, which limits the choice of available compilation techniques for such...
Scan based or Line Sweep methods are a traditional mechanism to traverse the physical layout, or artwork of a microchip. These traversals are incremental in nature. They typically...
Many DTM schemes rely heavily on the accurate knowledge of the chip's dynamic thermal state to make optimal performance/ temperature trade-off decisions. This information is ...
