DSM and nanometer VLSI designs are subject to an increasingly significant thermal effect on VLSI circuit lifetime and performance variation, which can be effectively subdued by V...
As feature sizes decrease and chip sizes increase, the area and performance of chips become dominated by the interconnect. In spite of this trend, most existing synthesis systems ...
In a recent paper, Savas, Batta and Nagi [14] consider the optimal placement of a finite-sized facility in the presence of arbitrarily-shaped barriers under rectilinear travel. T...
This paper investigates the placement of data and parity on redundant disk arrays. Declustered organizations have been traditionally used to achieve fast reconstruction of a faile...

− In this paper, we present a new timing-driven placement algorithm, which attempts to minimize zigzags and crisscrosses on the timing-critical paths of a circuit. We observed th...
