— Overlay applications have used various tools to measure path properties in order to construct efficient overlay networks. Typical examples include delay measurement, connectiv...
We propose a low-overhead scan design methodology which employs a new test point insertion technique to establish scan paths through the functional logic. The technique re-uses th...
A fundamental problem in timing-driven physical synthesis is the reduction of critical paths in a design. In this work, we propose a powerful new technique that moves (and can als...

This paper presents a diagonal routing method which is applied to an actual microprocessor prototype chip. While including the layout functions for the conventional Manhattan rout...
— Code coverage is a popular method to find design bugs and verification loopholes. However, once a piece of code is determined to be unreachable, diagnosing the cause of the p...
