Buffer insertion seeks to place buffers on the wires of a signal net to minimize delay. Van Ginneken [14] proposed an optimal dynamic programming solution (with extensions propose...
In this paper, we establish a theoretical framework for a new concept of scheduling called soft scheduling. In contrasts to the traditional schedulers referred as hard schedulers,...
The problem of capturing provenance for computational tasks has recently received significant attention, due to the new set of beneficial uses (for optimization, debugging, etc.)...
A flexible neural network (FNN) is a multilayer feedforward neural network with the characteristics of: (1) overlayer connections; (2) variable activation functions for different...
A genetic programming method is investigated for optimizing both the architecture and the connection weights of multilayer feedforward neural networks. The genotype of each networ...
