Abstract. We propose a framework in which query sizes can be estimated from arbitrary statistical assertions on the data. In its most general form, a statistical assertion states t...
Process technology and environment-induced variability of gates and wires in VLSI circuits make timing analyses of such circuits a challenging task. Process variation can have a s...
In this paper, we study the simultaneous transistor and interconnect sizing (STIS) problem. We dene a class of optimization problems as CH-posynomial programs and reveal a genera...
We consider the problem of minimizing the delay in transporting a signal across a distance in a VLSI circuit.The problem can be restated as a combined buffer insertion, buffer siz...
In this paper, we explore the concept of using analytical models to efficiently generate delay change curves (DCCs) that can then be used to characterize the impact of noise on an...
