Process variation has become a major concern in the design of many nanometer circuits, including interconnect pipelines. This paper develops closed-form models to predict the dela...
Performance evaluation of contemporary processors is becoming increasingly difficult due to the lack of proper frameworks. Traditionally, cycle-accurate simulators have been exte...
Abstract. Progressive Pruning (PP) is used in the Monte-Carlo go playing program Indigo. For each candidate move, PP launches random games starting with this move. PP gathers stati...
— Buffer insertion is an effective technique to reduce interconnect delay. In this paper, we give a simple O(mn) time algorithm for optimal buffer insertion, where m is the numbe...
Abstract— Routing tree construction is a fundamental problem in modern VLSI design. In this paper we propose CDCTree, an Obstacle-Avoiding Rectilinear Steiner Minimum Tree (OARSM...
