A number of industry trends are shaping the requirements for IC and electronic equipment design. The density and complexity of circuit technologies have increased to a point where...
This paper makes the case that pin bandwidth will be a critical consideration for future microprocessors. We show that many of the techniques used to tolerate growing memory laten...
We propose a parallel global routing algorithm that concurrently processes routing subproblems corresponding to rectangular subregions covering the chip area. The algorithm uses a...
