The “chicken-egg” dilemma between VLSI interconnect timing optimization and delay calculation suggests an iterative approach. We separate interconnect timing transformation as...
We present a fast and efficient combinatorial algorithm to simultaneously identify the candidate locations as well as the sizes of the buffers driving a clock mesh. Due to the hi...
— Recently power becomes a significant issue in clock network design for high-performance ICs because the clock network consumes a large portion of the total power in the whole s...
The advent of deep sub-micron technology has recently highlighted the criticality of the on-chip interconnects. As diminishing feature sizes have led to increases in global wiring...
