This paper proposes the concept of potential slack and show it is an effective metric of combinational circuit performance. We provide several methods for estimating potential sla...
Potential slack is an effective metric of circuit’s possible performance improvement. It is equal to the maximal amount of slack that can be potentially used for optimization. I...
Power dissipation is quickly becoming one of the most important limiters in nanometer IC design for leakage increases exponentially as the technology scaling down. However, power ...
In this paper, we propose a new sensitivity based, statistical gate sizing method. Since circuit optimization effects the entire shape of the circuit delay distribution, it is dif...
