The optimal state minimization problem is to select a reduced state machine having the best logic implementation over all possible state reductions and encodings. A recent algorit...
Traditionally, analytic placement used linear or quadratic wirelength objective functions. Minimizing either formulation attracts cells sharing common signals (nets) together. The...
Interconnect reduction is an important step in the design and analysis of complex interconnects found in present-day integrated circuits. This paper presents techniques for obtain...
We extend the partial inductance concept by replacing the magnetic interaction between open filaments i and j by that between filament j and a (finite) closed loop, formed by conn...
This paper describes a method of synthesis of asynchronous circuits with relative timing. Asynchronous communication between gates and modules typically utilizes handshakes to ens...

This paper studies buffer block planning for interconnect-driven floorplanning in deep submicron designs. We first introduce the concept of feasible region (FR) for buffer inserti...
Abstract-- ECO routing is a very important design capability in advanced IC, MCM and PCB designs when additional routings need to be made at the latter stage of the physical design...
Dynamic Power Management (DPM) is a technique to reduce power consumption of electronic systems by selectively shutting down idle components. The quality of the shutdown control a...
Improving logic density by time-sharing, time-multiplexed FPGAs (TMFPGAs) have become an important research topic for reconfigurable computing. Due to the precedence and capacity ...
