This paper presents a unifying framework for the modeling of asynchronous pipeline circuits. A pipeline protocol is captured in a graph-based model which defines the partial order...
As the process technology enters the nanometer era, reliability has become a major concern in the design and manufacturing of VLSI circuits. In this paper we focus on one reliabil...
Steiner routing is a fundamental yet NP-hard problem in VLSI design and other research fields. In this paper, we propose to model the routing graph by an RC network with routing t...
