Silicon compilers are often used in conjunction with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to deliver flexibility, fast prototyping, and accelerated time-to-market. Many of these...
Leakage current has become a stringent constraint in today’s processor designs in addition to traditional constraints on frequency. Since leakage current exhibits a strong inver...

Grid-warping is a new placement algorithm based on a strikingly simple idea: rather than move the gates to optimize their location, we elastically deform a model of the 2-0 chip s...

In this paper we investigate the statistics of multiplier operands and identify two characteristics of their distribution that have important consequences for the design of low po...
This paper describes the structured ASIC technology and impacts to the implementation flow. With an optimized and programmable structure, the structured ASIC technology indeed int...
