We present a novel technique CLIP for optimizing both the height and width of CMOS cell layouts in the two-dimensional (2D) style. CLIP is based on integer-linear programming (ILP...
We present a novel method for state minimization of incompletely-specified finite state machines. Where classic methods simply minimize the number of states, ours directly addre...
This paper describes the early analysis and estimation features currently implemented in the Berkeley Emulation Engine (BEE) system. BEE is an integrated rapid prototyping and des...

In this paper, a novel test point insertion methodology is presented for RTL designs that aims to reduce the data volume of scan-based transition delay tests. Test points are iden...
This paper presents a new method of extracting LF model based parameters using a spectral model matching approach. Strategies are described for overcoming some of the known diffic...
