Abstract. In recent work binary decision diagrams (BDDs) were introduced as a technique for postoptimality analysis for integer programming. In this paper we show that much smaller...
Self-timed circuits present an attractive solution to the problem of process variation. However, implementing selftimed combinational logic can be complex and expensive. This pape...
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...
