In this paper, we show that under the constant delay model the placement problem is equivalent to minimizing a weighted sum of wire lengths. The weights can be efficiently compute...

In this paper, we present results for significantly improving the performance of sequential circuit diagnostic test pattern generation (DATPG). Our improvements are achieved by de...
In this paper, we develop a new standard cell placement tool, Dragon2000, to solve large scale placement problem effectively. A top-down hierarchical approach is used in Dragon200...
We investigate conservative parallel discrete event simulations for logical circuits on shared-memory multiprocessors. For a first estimation of the possible speedup, we extend th...
A parallel computing approach for large-scale SPICE-accurate circuit simulation is described that is based on a new preconditioned iterative solver. The preconditioner involves the...
