—A unified optimization framework is presented for simultaneous gate sizing and placement. These processes are unified using Lagrangian multipliers, which synchronize the efforts...
In this paper we describe Frontier, an FPGA placement system that uses design macro-blocks in conjuction with a series of placement algorithms to achieve highly-routable and high-...
Multiple clock cycles are needed to cross the global interconnects for multi-gigahertz designs in nanometer technologies. For synchronous designs, this requires retiming and pipel...
This paper studies the optimal placement of web files for en-route web caching. It is shown that existing placement policies are all solving restricted partial problems of the ...
Abstract- This paper describes an algorithm for optimally placing a given number of wavelength converters in All-Optical Networks(A0Ns) with arbitrary topologies. We first introduc...
