This paper proposes a framework for (signal) interconnect power optimization at the global routing stage. In a typical design flow, the primary objective of global routing is mini...
Scatternet formation must be addressed before any ad hoc network protocol can be run over Bluetooth. This is due to the frequency hop nature and piconet unit of Bluetooth. In this...
This paper describes novel methods we developed to lay out graphs using Sugiyama’s scheme [16] in a tool named GLEE. The main contributions are: a heuristic for creating a graph ...
Ball Grid Array packages in which I/O pins are arranged in a grid array pattern realize a number of connections between chips and a printed circuit board, but it takes much time in...
In this paper, we present a very fast and accurate rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (RSMT)1 algorithm called FLUTE. The algorithm is an extension of the wirelength estimation appr...
