– Due to reduction in device feature size and supply voltage, the sensitivity of digital systems to transient faults is increasing dramatically. As technology scales further, the...
This paper presents figures of merit and error formulae to determine which interconnects require volume discretization in the GHZ range. Most of the previous work focused mainly o...
The wire length estimation is the bottleneck of packing based block placers. To cope with this problem, we present a fast wire length estimation method in this paper. The key idea...
In this paper, we propose the first wire density driven global routing that considers CMP variation and timing. To enable CMP awareness during global routing, we propose a compac...
The continuous minituarization of integrated circuits may reach atomic scales in a couple of decades. Some researchers have already built simple computation engines by manipulatin...
