As VLSI technology scales toward 65nm and beyond, both timing and power performance of integrated circuits are increasingly affected by process variations. In practice, people oft...
In this paper, we propose a new global router, BoxRouter, powered by the concept of box expansion and progressive integer linear programming (ILP). BoxRouter first uses a simple P...
Simulation and verification using electronic design automation (EDA) tools are key steps in the design process for communication and signal processing systems. The synchronous dat...
In a placed circuit, there are a lot of movable cells that can be flipped to further reduce the total wirelength, without affecting the original placement solution. We aim at solv...
