— Buffer insertion is an effective technique to reduce interconnect delay. In this paper, we give a simple O(mn) time algorithm for optimal buffer insertion, where m is the numbe...
– Modern multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC) designs have high bandwidth constraints which must be satisfied by the underlying communication architecture. Bus matrix based com...

— An effectively designed and efficiently used memory hierarchy, composed of scratch-pads or cache, is seen today as the key to obtaining energy and performance gains in data-do...
—As the VLSI manufacturing technology advances into the deep sub-micron(DSM) era, the mask cost can reach one or two million dollars. Multiple project wafers (MPW) which put di...
— We present an efficient method for automatically extracting unified amplitude/phase macromodels of arbitrary oscillators from their SPICE-level circuit descriptions. Such com...
