Decreasing feature sizes and increasing package densities are making thermal issues extremely important in IC design. Uneven thermal maps and hot spots in ICs cause physical stres...
We develop a projected-subgradient primal-dual Lagrange optimization for global placement, that can be instantiated with a variety of interconnect models. It decomposes the origin...
In this paper, a new method for evolving simple electronic circuits is discussed, with the aim of improving the reliability and performance of basic circuit blocks. Next-generatio...
Three-dimensional integrated circuits (3DICs) have the potential to reduce interconnect lengths and improve digital system performance. However, heat removal is more difficult in ...
