A tool that automates the floating-point to fixed-point conversion (FFC) process for digital signal processing systems is described. The tool automatically optimizes fixed-point d...
We describe a novel hardware architecture for genomic and proteomic sequence alignment which achieves a speed-up of two to three orders of magnitude over Smith-Waterman dynamic pr...
We present a set of techniques for placement-coupled, timingdriven logic replication. Two components are at the core of the approach. First is an algorithm for optimal timingdrive...
This paper presents the Routing Cost Valleys (RCV) algorithm – the first published algorithm that simultaneously optimizes all short- and long-path timing constraints in a Field...
The main goal of this paper is to develop deeper insights into viable placement-level optimization of routing. Two primary contributions are made. First, an experimental framework...
