Abstract--This paper presents a class of power grid analysis and optimization techniques, all of which are based on the algebraic-multigrid (AMG) method. First, a new AMG-based red...
With the scaling of technology, power grid noise is becoming increasingly significant for circuit performance. A typical power grid circuit contains millions of linear elements, m...
ct This paper develops an aggregation-based algebraic multigrid (AbAMG) method to efficiently analyze the power grids. Different from the conventional algebraic multigrid (AMG) sc...
The continuing VLSI technology scaling leads to increasingly significant power supply fluctuations, which need to be modeled accurately in circuit design and verification. Meanwhi...
— Modern sub-micron VLSI designs include huge power grids that are required to distribute large amounts of current, at increasingly lower voltages. The resulting voltage drop on ...
