We illustrate how technical contributions in the VLSI CAD partitioning literature can fail to provide one or more of: (i) reproducible results and descriptions, (ii) an enabling a...

The increasing size and complexity of designs is making the use of hardware description languages (HDLs), such as Verilog and VHDL, more prevalent. They are able to describe both ...
This paper describes a novel methodology for high performance asynchronous design based on timed circuits and on CAD support for their synthesis using Relative Timing. This method...
