— Energy efficiency has become one of the most important issues to be addressed in today’s System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designs. One way to lower the power consumption is to reduce ...
—In this paper, we present a new block budgeting algorithm which speeds up timing closure in timing driven hierarchical flows. After a brief description of the addressed flow, ...
Instances of the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) arise in many areas of circuit design and verification. These instances are typically constructed from some human-designed ar...

This paper describes a new force directed global placement algorithm that exploits and extends techniques from two leading placers, Force-directed [12] [26] and Mongrel [22]. It c...
Abstract -- This paper presents a novel, Boolean approach to LUTbased FPGA technology mapping targeting high performance. As the core of the approach, we have developed a powerful ...
