At every stage in physical design, engineers are faced with many different objectives and tools to develop, optimize, and evaluate their design. Each choice of a tool or an objec...
Retiming has been shown to be a powerful technique for improving the performance of synchronous circuits. However, even though retiming algorithms of polynomial time complexity ha...
— This paper presents a fast analytical method for estimating the throughput of pipelined asynchronous systems, and then applies that method to develop a fast solution to the pro...
As the CMOS technology is scaled into the dimension of nanometer, the clock frequencies and die sizes of ICs are shown to be increasing steadily [5]. Today, global wires that requ...
The properties of a domain oriented modelling approach or language are determined by the dominant semantics of the domain. A significant subclass that needs particular attention,...
