Concerned by the wall that Moore’s Law is expected to hit in the next decade, the integrated circuit community is turning to emerging nanotechnologies for continued device impro...
Achieving design closure is one of the biggest headaches for modern VLSI designers. This problem is exacerbated by high-level design automation tools that ignore increasingly impo...
