Partitioning and clustering are crucial steps in circuit layout for handling large scale designs enabled by the deep submicron technologies. Retiming is an important sequential lo...
Electrothermal couplings between supply voltage, operating frequency, power dissipation and die temperature have been shown to significantly impact the energy-delay-product (EDP) ...

This paper proposes a new formalism for layout-driven optimization of datapaths. It is based on preserving an arithmetic bit level representation of the arithmetic circuit portion...
Abstract. The continuous miniaturization of semiconductor devices imposes serious threats to design robustness against process variations and environmental fluctuations. Modern ci...
