The many levels of metal used in aggressive deep submicron process technologies has made fast and accurate capacitance extraction of complicated 3-D geometries of conductors essen...
This paper describes a two-state methodology for register transfer level (RTL) logic simulation in which the use of the Xstate is completely eliminated inside ASIC designs. Exampl...
High performance circuit techniques such as domino logic have migrated from the microprocessor world into more mainstream ASIC designs. The problem is that domino logic comes at a...
Matrix-implicit Krylov-subspace methods have made it possible to efficiently compute the periodic steady-state of large circuits using either the time-domain shooting-Newton metho...
This paper presents a new algorithm for exact estimation of the minimum memory size required by programs dealing with array computations. Memory size is an important factor a ecti...
