—This paper proposes a novel approach to the exact symbolic analysis of very large analog circuits. The new method is based on determinant decision diagrams (DDDs) representing s...
Grid-warping is a new placement algorithm based on a strikingly simple idea: rather than move the gates to optimize their location, we elastically deform a model of the 2-0 chip s...
