As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
Automated cell placement is a critical problem in VLSI physical design. New analytical placement methods that simultaneously spread cells and optimize wirelength have recently rec...
Wire routing in a VLSI chip often requires minimization of wire-length as well as the number of intersections among multiple nets. Such an optimization problem is computationally ...

Clock distribution is one of the key limiting factors in any high speed, sub-100nm VLSI design. Unwanted clock skews, caused by variation effects like manufacturing variations, po...
Networks on chip (NoCs) draw on concepts inherited from distributed systems and computer networks subject areas to interconnect IP cores in a structured and scalable way. Congesti...
