Making fast buffer insertion even faster via approximation techniques
Abstract— As technology scales to 0.13 micron and below, designs are requiring buffers to be inserted on interconnects of even moderate length for both critical paths and fixing...

Buffer Insertion with Accurate Gate and Interconnect Delay Computation
Buffer insertion has become a critical step in deep submicron design, and several buffer insertion/sizing algorithms have been proposed in the literature. However, most of these m...

Accurate estimation of global buffer delay within a floorplan
Closed formed expressions for buffered interconnect delay approximation have been around for some time. However, previous approaches assume that buffers are free to be placed anyw...

A new RLC buffer insertion algorithm
Most existing buffering algorithms neglect the impact of inductance on circuit performance, which causes large error in circuit analysis and optimization. Even for the approaches...
