In a realistic design flow, circuit and system optimizations must interact with physical aspects of the design. For example, improvements in timing and power may require replacing ...
Timing-driven placement is a critical step in nanometerscale physical synthesis. To improve design timing on a global scale, net-weight based global timing-driven placement is a c...

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...

In automated synthesis, we transform a specification into a system that is guaranteed to satisfy the specification. In spite of the rich theory developed for system synthesis, litt...
This paper presents a method for the automatic synthesis of asynchronous circuits from Petri net specifications. The method is based on a structural encoding of the system in such ...
