Inspired by recent success of analytical placers that use a logarithmsum-exponential (LSE) to smooth half-perimeter wirelength (HPWL), we consider in this paper two alternative sm...
Design verification has become a bottleneck of modern designs. Recently, simulation-based random verification has attracted a lot of interests due to its effectiveness in uncoveri...
The virtual channel flow control (VCFC) provides an efficient implementation for on-chip networks. However, allocating the virtual channels (VCs) uniformly results in a waste of a...
This paper studies multi-dimensional optimization at both circuit and micro-architecture levels. By formulating and solving the optimization problem with conflicting design objec...
