Buffer insertion is an effective approach to achieve both minimal clock signal delay and skew in high speed VLSI circuit design. In this paper, we develop an optimal buffer ins...
— In order to achieve timing closure on increasingly complex IC designs, buffer insertion needs to be performed on thousands of nets within an integrated physical synthesis syste...

Abstract—Buffer resizing and buffer insertion are two transformation techniques for the performance optimization of elastic systems. Different approaches for each technique have ...
As gate delays decrease faster than wire delays for each technology generation, buffer insertion becomes a popular method to reduce the interconnect delay. Several modern buffer in...
