The relatively poor scaling of interconnect in modern digital circuits necessitates a number of design optimizations, which must typically be iterated several times to meet the spe...
Early circuit performance estimation and easy-to-apply methods for minimum-delay gate sizing are needed, in order to enhance circuit’s performance and to increase designers’ pr...
Accurate modeling of delay, power, and area of interconnections early in the design phase is crucial for effective system-level optimization. Models presently used in system-level...

As feature sizes decrease and chip sizes increase, the area and performance of chips become dominated by the interconnect. In spite of this trend, most existing synthesis systems ...
In performance-driven interconnect design, delay estimators are used to determine both the topology and the layout of good routing trees. We address the class of moment-matching, ...
