Advances in fabrication technology have resulted in a continual shrinkage of device dimensions. This has resulted in smaller device delays, greater resistance along interconnect w...
We present a new timing driven method for global placement. Our method is based on the observation that similar net length reductions in the different nets that make up a path may...
In this paper, we present an experimental integrated platform for the research, development and evaluation of new VLSI back-end algorithms and design flows. Interconnect scaling ...
In this paper we present a new global router appropriate for Multichip Module MCM and dense Printed Circuit Board PCB design, which utilizes a hybrid of the classical rip-up and r...
