Clock skew variations adversely affect timing margins, limiting performance, reducing yield, and may also lead to functional faults. Non-tree clock distribution networks, such as ...

We introduce a novel chip fabrication technique called “brick and mortar”, in which chips are made from small, pre-fabricated ASIC bricks and bonded in a designer-specified a...

Clock skew minimization is always very important in the clock tree synthesis. Due to clock gating, the clock tree may include different types of logic gates, e.g., AND gates, OR g...
In the nanometer VLSI technology, the variation effects like manufacturing variation, power supply noise, temperature etc. become very significant. As one of the most vital nets...
In this paper we present a family of multi-objective hypergraph partitioning algorithms based on the multilevel paradigm, which are capable of producing solutions in which both th...
