Abstract— The design of robust and area efficient power distribution networks for high speed, high complexity integrated circuits has become a challenging task. The integrity of...
This paper describes the hardware implementation of a real-time, large-scale, multi-chip FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) based emulation engine with a capacity of 10 million ...

The wire sizing problem under inequality Elmore delay constraints is known to be posynomial, hence convex under an exponential variable-transformation. There are formal methods fo...
Modern VLSI processing supports a two-dimensional surface for active devices along with multiple stacked layers of interconnect. With the advent of planarization, the number of la...
Traditionally, research in global placement has focused on relatively few simple metrics, such as pure wirelength or routability estimates. However, in the real world today, desig...
