Complexity analysis and speedup techniques for optimal buffer insertion with minimum cost
As gate delays decrease faster than wire delays for each technology generation, buffer insertion becomes a popular method to reduce the interconnect delay. Several modern buffer in...

Interconnect Delay Minimization Using a Novel Pre-Mid-Post Buffer Strategy
We consider the problem of minimizing the delay in transporting a signal across a distance in a VLSI circuit.The problem can be restated as a combined buffer insertion, buffer siz...

Type-matching clock tree for zero skew clock gating
Clock skew minimization is always very important in the clock tree synthesis. Due to clock gating, the clock tree may include different types of logic gates, e.g., AND gates, OR g...

A hierarchical decomposition methodology for multistage clock circuits
† This paper describes a novel methodology to automate the design of the interconnect distribution for multistage clock circuits. We introduce two key ideas. First, a hierarchica...

Post routing performance optimization via tapered link insertion and wiresizing
Most existing performance-driven and clock routing algorithms can not guarantee performance after all nets are routed. This paper proposes a new post routing approach which can re...
