Improving Placement under the Constant Delay Model
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...

Conservative Circuit Simulation on Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
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 preconditioning strategy for efficient transistor-level circuit simulation
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...
