We present a novel technique CLIP for optimizing both the height and width of CMOS cell layouts in the two-dimensional (2D) style. CLIP is based on integer-linear programming (ILP...
We introduce a new implementation of a ternary adder with four inputs and two outputs. This ternary adder reduces the number of digits in a multiplication compared with a binary m...
Genetic Algorithms have worked fairly well for the VLSI cell placement problem, albeit with significant run times. Two parallel models for GA are presented for VLSI cell placemen...

This paper proposes a novel Lightweight Time Warp (LTW) protocol for high-performance parallel optimistic simulation of large-scale DEVS and CellDEVS models. By exploiting the cha...
To minimize the time to market and cost of new sub 0.25um process technologies and products, PDF Solutions, Inc., has developed a new comprehensive approach based on the use of pr...
