The thermal problem has been emerged as one of the key issues for next-generation IC design. In this paper, we propose a scheme to achieve better thermal distribution for partitio...
For multi-gigahertz designs in nanometer technologies, data transfers on global interconnects take multiple clock cycles. In this paper, we propose a regular distributed register ...
Traditional multilevel partitioning approaches have shown good performance with respect to cutsize, but offer no guarantees with respect to system performance. Timing-driven part...
Aggressive process scaling and increasing clock rates have made crosstalk noise an important issue in VLSI design. Switching on adjacent wires on long bus lines can increase delay...
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have been proposed as a very powerful heuristic optimization technique to solve complex problems. Many case studies have shown that they work very eff...
