Abstract— Deep submicron technology scaling has two major ramifications on the design process. First, reduced feature size significantly increases wire delay, thus resulting in...
With the circuit density available in today’s ASIC design systems, increased integration is possible creating more complexity in the design of a System on a Chip (SoC). IBM’s ...

We develop a projected-subgradient primal-dual Lagrange optimization for global placement, that can be instantiated with a variety of interconnect models. It decomposes the origin...
In this paper, we present a new multipacking-tree (MP-tree) representation for macro placements to handle modern mixed-size designs with large macros and high chip utilization rate...
Voltage islanding technique in Network-on-Chip (NoC) can significantly reduce the computational energy consumption by scaling down the voltage levels of the processing elements (P...
