Clock skew scheduling has been traditionally considered as a tool for improving the clock period in a sequential circuit. Timing slack is "stolen" from fast combinationa...
Abstract. Data dependent circuits are logic circuits specialized to specific input data. They are smaller and faster than the original circuits, although they are not reusable and...
This paper presents a novel placement algorithm for timing optimization based on a new and powerful concept, which we term differential timing analysis. Recognizing that accurate ...

Deploying multiple supply voltages (multi-Vdds) on one chip is an important technique to reduce dynamic power consumption. In this work we present an optimality study for resource...
Placement is one of the most important steps in the RTLto-GDSII synthesis process, as it directly defines the interconnects, which have become the bottleneck in circuit and syste...
