Pad assignment with signal integrity optimization is very important for high-speed VLSI design. In this paper, an efficient method is proposed to effectively minimize both simulta...
In this paper, we present an integrated approach to floorplanning and bus planning, i.e., bus-driven floorplanning (BDF). We are given a set of circuit blocks and the bus speciï...
The classic algorithm for optimal buffer insertion due to van Ginneken has time and space complexity O(n2 ), where n is the number of possible buffer positions. We present a new a...
In this paper we present an online method for managing a goaloriented buffer partitioning in the distributed memory of a network of workstations. Our algorithm implements a feedba...
Achieving design closure is one of the biggest headaches for modern VLSI designers. This problem is exacerbated by high-level design automation tools that ignore increasingly impo...
