Partitioning with terminals: a "new" problem and new benchmarks
The presence of fixed terminals in hypergraph partitioning instances arising in top-down standard-cell placement makes such instances qualitatively different from the free hyperg...

Buffer insertion for clock delay and skew minimization
 Buffer insertion is an effective approach to achieve both minimal clock signal delay and skew in high speed VLSI circuit design. In this paper, we develop an optimal buffer ins...

Cycle time and slack optimization for VLSI-chips
We consider the problem of finding an optimal clock schedule, i.e. optimal arrival times for clock signals at latches of a VLSI chip. We describe a general model which includes al...

Repeater insertion in RLC lines for minimum propagation delay
- A closed form expression for the propagation delay of a CMOS gate driving a distributed RLC line is introduced that is within 5% of dynamic circuit simulations for a wide range o...

Cycle-accurate macro-models for RT-level power analysis
 In this paper we present a methodology and techniques for generating cycle-accurate macro-models for RTlevel power analysis. The proposed macro-model predicts not only...
