We present a novel incremental placement methodology called FlowPlace for significantly reducing critical path delays of placed standard-cell circuits. FlowPlace includes: a) a t...
The need to perform early design studies that combine architectural simulation with power estimation has become critical as power has become a design constraint whose importance h...

In recent years, due to rapid advances in VLSI manufacturing technology capable of packing more and more devices and wires on a chip, crosstalk has emerged as a serious problem af...
It is known to many researchers in the partitioning community that the recursive bipartitioning approach outperforms the direct non-recursive approach in solving the multiway part...
Functional dependency is concerned with rewriting a Boolean function f as a function h over a set of base functions {g1, …, gn}, i.e. f = h(g1, …, gn). It plays an important r...
