Capacitance extraction is an important problem that has been extensively studied. This paper presents a significant improvement for the fast multipole accelerated boundary element...
Statistical Static Timing Analysis has received wide attention recently and emerged as a viable technique for manufacturability analysis. To be useful, however, it is important th...
Many techniques for power management employed in advanced RTL synthesis tools rely explicitly or implicitly on observability don’t-care (ODC) conditions. In this paper we presen...
This paper presents a generic approach to mesh global optimization via node movement, based on a discrete graph-theoretic model. Mesh is considered as an electric system with lump...
Capacitive crosstalk can give rise to slowdown of signals that can propagate to a circuit output and create a functional error. A test generation methodology, called XGEN, was dev...
