This paper describes a new design methodology to analyze the on-chip power supply noise for high performance microprocessors. Based on an integrated package-level and chip-level p...
The concept of improving the timing behavior of a circuit by relocating flip-flops is called retiming and was first presented by Leiserson and Saxe. The ASTRA algorithm propose...
