As the process technology advances into the deep submicron era, interconnect plays a dominant role in determining circuit performance and signal integrity. Buffer insertion is one...
We have presented an optimal on-chip buffer allocation and buffer insertion methodology which uses stochastic models of the architecture. This methodology uses finite buffer s...

Stalls, due to mis-matches in communication rates, are a major performance obstacle in pipelined circuits. If the rate of data production is faster than the rate of consumption, t...
We present LEOPARD, a fanout optimization algorithm based on the effort delay model for near-continuous size buffer libraries. Our algorithm minimizes area under required timing a...
