A heuristic algorithm for a given topology of a multiple-source and multiple-sink bus to reduce the signal delay time is proposed. The algorithm minimizes the delay by inserting bu...
Embedded signal processing system is a typical type of application in embedded domain. Such systems typically have requirements on high real-time responsiveness and large buffer c...
As technology advances, the interconnect delay among modules plays dominant role in chip performance. Buffer insertion, as a traditional approach to reduce wire delay in 2D ICs, i...
