The classic algorithm for optimal buffer insertion due to van Ginneken has time and space complexity O(n2 ), where n is the number of possible buffer positions. We present a new a...
Buffer insertion method plays a great role in modern VLSI design. Many buffer insertion algorithms have been proposed in recent years. However, most of them used simplified delay ...
In this paper, we study the simultaneousdriver and wire sizing (SDWS) problem under two objective functions: (i) delay minimization only, or (ii) combined delay and power dissipat...
Clock meshes are extremely effective at filtering clock skew from environmental and process variations. For this reason, clock meshes are used in most high performance designs. Ho...
In this paper, we investigate the problem of repeater insertion for low power under a given timing budget. We propose a novel repeater insertion algorithm to compute the optimal r...
