As thermal problems become more evident, new physical design paradigms and tools are needed to alleviate them. Incorporating thermal vias into integrated circuits (ICs) is a promi...
Low-Rank Representation (LRR) [16, 17] is an effective method for exploring the multiple subspace structures of data. Usually, the observed data matrix itself is chosen as the dic...
Given a wireless network where each link undergoes small-scale (Rayleigh) fading, we consider the problem of routing a message from a source node to a target node while minimizing...
A simple extension of the critical path method is presented which allows more accurate optimization of circuits with level-sensitive latches. The extended formulation provides a s...
Conventional global routing minimizes total wire length and congestion. Experiments using large industrial benchmark circuits show that up to 24% of nets in such routing solutions...
