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...
Because of the increasing dominance of interconnect issues in advanced IC technology, placement has become a critical step in the IC design flow. To get accurate interconnect inf...
Past active Internet worms have caused widespread damage. Knowing the connection characteristics of such a worm very early in its proliferation cycle might provide first responde...
In this paper, we present a new method to improve global routing results. By using an amplified congestion estimate to influence a rip-up and reroute approach, we obtain substanti...
— Circuit and processor designs will continue to increase in complexity for the foreseeable future. With these increasing sizes comes the use of wide buses to move large amounts ...
