Retiming is a widely investigated technique for performance optimization. It performs powerful modifications on a circuit netlist. However, often it is not clear, whether the pred...
One major factor that heavily affects the performance of a content distribution network (CDN) is placement of the surrogates. Previous works take a network-centric approach and con...
The inherent distortion of the structural regularity of VLSI datapaths after logic optimization has until now precluded dense regular layouts of optimized datapaths despite their ...
Timing-driven placement is a critical step in nanometerscale physical synthesis. To improve design timing on a global scale, net-weight based global timing-driven placement is a c...

Placement is one of the most important steps in the RTLto-GDSII synthesis process, as it directly defines the interconnects, which have become the bottleneck in circuit and syste...
