Efficient system-level design is increasingly relying on hierarchical design-space exploration, as well as compositional methods, to shorten time-to-market, leverage design re-use...
High performance integrated circuits are now reaching the 100-plus watt regime, and power delivery and power grid signal integrity have become critical. Analyzing the performance ...

In this paper, we develop a mixed-size placement tool, Dragon2005, to solve large scale placement problems effectively. A top-down hierarchical approach based on min-cut partition...
The negative effect of electromigration on signal and power line lifetime and functional reliability is an increasingly important problem for the physical design of integrated cir...
