Minimizing power consumption is one of the most important objectives in IC design. Resizing gates and assigning different Vt’s are common ways to meet power and timing budgets. ...
We present a novel detailed placement technique that accounts for systematic through-pitch variations to reduce leakage. Leakage depends nearly exponentially on linewidth (gate le...
Artificial immune system (AIS)-based pattern classification approach is relatively new in the field of pattern recognition. The study explores the potentiality of this paradigm in ...
We present a method for sampling feature vectors in large (e.g., 2000 5000 16 bit) images that finds subsets of pixel locations which represent "regions" in the image. Sa...
Shaded relief derived automatically from digital elevation models differs distinctly from traditional manual shading. Particularly at small scales, many small topographic details ...
