More aggressive design practices have created renewed interest in techniques for analyzing substrate coupling problems. Most previous work has focused primarily on faster techniqu...
—In this paper, we present an approach to nonlinear model reduction based on representing a nonlinear system with a piecewise-linear system and then reducing each of the pieces w...
In this paper we propose a model to predict the performance of synchronous discrete event simulation. The model considers parameters including the number of active objects per cyc...
In deep submicron VLSI circuits, interconnect reliability due to electromigration and thermal effects is fast becoming a serious design issue particularly for long signal lines. T...
In this paper, we present novel algorithms that effectively combine physical layout and early logic synthesis to improve overall design quality. In addition, we employ partitionin...
