This paper describes an application of a Constructive Genetic Algorithm (CGA) to the Gate Matrix Layout Problem (GMLP). The GMLP happens in very large scale integration (VLSI) desi...
—Discrete gate sizing is one of the most commonly used, flexible, and powerful techniques for digital circuit optimization. The underlying problem has been proven to be NP-hard ...

This paper describes an algorithm for simultaneous gate sizing and fanout optimization along the timing-critical paths in a circuit. First, a continuous-variable delay model that ...
An optimization algorithm for the design of combinational circuits that are robust to single-event upsets (SEUs) is described. A simple, highly accurate model for the SEU robustne...
