As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
We propose an interconnect reorganization algorithm for reduction stages in parallel multipliers. It aims at minimizing power consumption for given static probabilities at the pri...

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...
Abstract. We consider an upper confidence bound algorithm for Markov decision processes (MDPs) with deterministic transitions. For this algorithm we derive upper bounds on the onl...
We propose a two-phase heuristic for crossing reduction in circular layouts. While the first algorithm uses a greedy policy to build a good initial layout, an adaptation of the si...
