Traditionally, analytic placement used linear or quadratic wirelength objective functions. Minimizing either formulation attracts cells sharing common signals (nets) together. The...
Designing a software system's architecture properly is one of the most important tasks of any software engineering project. Nevertheless there exists no common definition of ...

The main objectives of Built-In Self Test (BIST) are the design of test pattern generator circuits which achieve the highest fault coverage, require the shortest sequence of test ...
This paper considers simultaneous gate and wire sizing for general very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits under the Elmore delay model. We present a fast and exact algorithm w...
The main objective of core-based IC design is improvement of design efficiency and time-to-market. In order to prevent test development from becoming the bottleneck in the entire ...
