Many emerging processor microarchitectures seek to manage technological constraints (e.g., wire delay, power, and circuit complexity) by resorting to nonuniform designs that provi...
This paper proposes a framework for (signal) interconnect power optimization at the global routing stage. In a typical design flow, the primary objective of global routing is mini...
In this paper, we present DeFer -- a fast, high-quality and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a non-slicing floorplan by compacting a slicing fl...
The phase-change random access memory (PRAM) technology is fast maturing to production levels. Main advantages of PRAM are non-volatility, byte addressability, in-place programmab...
Global routing is an important step in the physical design process. In this paper, we propose a new global routing algorithm Archer, which resolves some of the most common problem...
