Models of simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) are currently playing a central role in the connection between circuit design and chip fabrication communitie...
We propose a hybrid genetic algorithm for partitioning a VLSI circuit graph into two disjoint graphs of minimum cut size. The algorithm includes a local optimization heuristic whic...
In this paper, we propose a technique to flexibly implement genetic algorithms for various problems on FPGAs. For the purpose, we propose a basic architecture for GA which consist...
In this paper we present an advanced functional extraction tool for automatic generation of high-level RTL from switch-level circuit netlist representation. The tool is called FEV...
Timing optimizations during logic synthesis has become a necessary step to achieve timing closure in VLSI designs. This often involves “shortening” all paths found in the circ...
