In order to optimize interconnect to avoid signal integrity problems, very fast and accurate 3-D capacitance extraction is essential. Fast algorithms, such as the multipole or prec...
We consider the following "multiway cut packing" problem in undirected graphs: we are given a graph G = (V, E) and k commodities, each corresponding to a set of terminal...
Performance-driven physical design is becoming more important as advances in IC technologies enable gigahertz operating frequencies. These same IC technologies, however, exhibit d...
Abstract. In the online capacitated interval coloring problem, a sequence of requests arrive online. Each of the requests is an interval Ij ⊆ {1, 2, . . . , n} with bandwidth bj....
Crosstalk faults have emerged as a significant mechanism for circuit failure. Long signal nets are of particular concern because they tend to have a higher coupling capacitance to...
