—Decoupling capacitors (decaps) are a popular means for reducing power-supply noise in integrated circuits. Since the decaps are usually inserted in the whitespace of the device ...
In a constraint optimization problem (COP), many feasible valuations lead to the same objective value. This often means a huge search space and poor performance in the propagation...
We present a method for sampling feature vectors in large (e.g., 2000 5000 16 bit) images that finds subsets of pixel locations which represent "regions" in the image. Sa...
Minimizing power consumption is one of the most important objectives in IC design. Resizing gates and assigning different Vt’s are common ways to meet power and timing budgets. ...
A k-hop dominating set is a subset of nodes such that each node not in the set can be reached within k hops from at least one node in the set. A connected k-hop dominating set can ...
