It is now common for multimedia applications to be partitioned and mapped onto multiple processing elements of a system-on-chip architecture. An important design constraint in suc...
In this paper we present a new global router appropriate for Multichip Module MCM and dense Printed Circuit Board PCB design, which utilizes a hybrid of the classical rip-up and r...
While previous watermarking-based approaches to intellectual property protection (IPP) have asymmetrically emphasized the IP provider's rights, the true goal of IPP is to ens...
