Abstract—The slack time in real-time systems can be used by recovery schemes to increase system reliability as well as by frequency and voltage scaling techniques to save energy....
This paper presents the Routing Cost Valleys (RCV) algorithm – the first published algorithm that simultaneously optimizes all short- and long-path timing constraints in a Field...
Traditional timing-driven placement considers only combinational delays and does not take into account the potential of subsequent sequential optimization steps. As a result, the ...
Power is an increasingly important design constraint for FPGAs in nanometer technologies. Because interconnect power is dominant in FPGAs, we design Vdd-programmable interconnect ...
Wire pipelining emerges as a new necessity for global wires due to increasing wire delay, shrinking clock period and growing chip size. Existing approaches on wire pipelining are ...
