Synthesizing a representative critical path for post-silicon delay prediction
Several approaches to post-silicon adaptation require feedback from a replica of the nominal critical path, whose variations are intended to reflect those of the entire circuit a...

High-performance global routing with fast overflow reduction
Global routing is an important step for physical design. In this paper, we develop a new global router, NTUgr, that contains three major steps: prerouting, initial routing, and enh...

GRIP: scalable 3D global routing using integer programming
We propose GRIP, a scalable global routing technique via Integer Programming (IP). GRIP optimizes wirelength and via cost without going through a layer assignment phase. GRIP sele...

Post-floorplanning power/ground ring synthesis for multiple-supply-voltage designs
The multiple-supply voltage (MSV) design style has been extensively applied to mitigate dynamic-power consumption. The MSV design paradigm, however, brings many crucial challenges...

A faster approximation scheme for timing driven minimum cost layer assignment
As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
