Formal verification is an important issue in circuit and system design. In this context, Bounded Model Checking (BMC) is one of the most successful techniques. But even if all sp...
We describe an efficient, top-down strategy for overlap removal and floorplan repair which repairs overlaps in floorplans produced by placement algorithms or rough floorplanni...

In dense integrated circuit designs, management of routing congestion is essential; an over congested design may be unroutable. Many factors influence congestion: placement, rout...
Modern high performance processors employ advanced techniques for thermal management, which rely on accurate readings of on-die thermal sensors. As the importance of thermal effec...
Physical Design of modern systems on chip is extremely challenging. Such digital integrated circuits often contain tens of millions of logic gates, intellectual property blocks, e...
