Classical floorplanning minimizes a linear combination of area and wirelength. When Simulated Annealing is used, e.g., with the Sequence Pair representation, the typical choice o...
Power supply noise increases the circuit delay, which may lead to performance failure of a design. Decoupling capacitance (decap) addition is effective in reducing the power suppl...
Building complex software systems necessitates the use of component-based architectures. In theory, of the set of components needed for a design, only some small portion of them ar...
—Embedded systems typically consist of a composition of a set of hardware and software IP modules. Each module is heavily optimized by itself. However, when these modules are com...
