This paper presents an efficient method for optimizing the design of power/ground (P/G) networks by using locally regular, globally irregular grids. The procedure divides the pow...
We propose a timing-oriented logic optimization technique called Generalized De Morgan (GDM) transform, that integrates gate resizing, net buffering and De Morgan transformation. ...
Interconnect tuning and repeater insertion are necessary to optimize interconnectdelay, signalperformanceandintegrity, andinterconnectmanufacturability and reliability. Repeater i...
The existence of non-uniform thermal gradients on the substrate in high performance IC’s can significantly impact the performance of global on-chip interconnects. This issue is...
We present a vectorial self dual morphological filter. Contrary to many methods, our approach does not require the use of an ordering on vectors. It relies on the minimization of ...
