In 21st-Century VLSI design, clocking plays crucial roles for both performance and timing convergence. Due to their non-convex nature, optimal minimum-delay/area zero-skew wire-si...

The need to reuse the performance macromodels of an analog circuit topology challenges existing regression based modeling techniques. A model of good reusability should have a num...
The training of support vector machines (SVM) involves a quadratic programming problem, which is often optimized by a complicated numerical solver. In this paper, we propose a muc...
