Performance analysis has many advantages in theory compared to simulation for the validation of complex embedded systems, but is rarely used in practice. To make analysis more att...
In this work we improve top-down min-cut placers in the context of timing closure. Using the concept of boosting factors, we adjust net weights according to net spans, so as to re...
As we move towards nanometer technology, manufacturing problems become overwhelmingly difficult to solve. Presently, optimization for manufacturability is performed at a post-synt...

In this paper, we propose a simple technique for estimating the standard deviation of a Gaussian random jitter component in a multi-gigahertz signal. This method may utilize exist...
