As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay has become the bottleneck of the circuit timing. As one of the most powerful techniques for interconnect optimiz...
As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
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...
A simple extension of the critical path method is presented which allows more accurate optimization of circuits with level-sensitive latches. The extended formulation provides a s...
Software architecture is important for large systems in which it is the main means for, among other things, controlling complexity. Current ideas on software architectures were no...
