This paper proposes for latency insensitive systems a performance optimization technique called channel buffer queue sizing, which is performed after relay station insertion in th...
Abstract— As technology scales to 0.13 micron and below, designs are requiring buffers to be inserted on interconnects of even moderate length for both critical paths and fixing...

Most existing buffering algorithms neglect the impact of inductance on circuit performance, which causes large error in circuit analysis and optimization. Even for the approaches...
Shrinking process geometries and the increasing use of IP components in SoC designs give rise to new problems in routing and buffer insertion. A particular concern is that cross-c...
