Abstract--In this paper, we study wire width planning for interconnect performance optimization in an interconnect-centric design flow. We first propose some simplified, yet near-o...
This paper presents a new way of thinking for IR metric optimization. It is argued that the optimal ranking problem should be factorized into two distinct yet interrelated stages:...
This paper addresses the problem of computational error modeling and analysis. Choosing different word-lengths for each functional unit in hardware implementations of numerical al...
Multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEA) are an effective tool for solving search and optimization problems containing several incommensurable and possibly conflicting objec...
In this paper, we propose a new sensitivity based, statistical gate sizing method. Since circuit optimization effects the entire shape of the circuit delay distribution, it is dif...
