In the context of physical synthesis, large-scale standard-cell placement algorithms must facilitate incremental changes to layout, both local and global. In particular, flexible...
Genre, like layout, is an important factor in effective communication, and automated tools which assist in genre compliance are thus of considerable value. Genres are reusable met...

With increasing design complexity, as well as continued scaling of supplies, the design and analysis of power/ground distribution networks poses a difficult problem in modern IC d...
Clustering (or partitioning) is a crucial step between logic synthesis and physical design in the layout of a large scale design. A design verified at the logic synthesis level m...
The emerging paradigms of service oriented architectures and utility-based computing have the potential to greatly reduce the cost of data management. Data management service prov...
