We present a novel global routing and cross-point assignment methodology for sea-of-gates (SOG) designs. Using the proposed congestion driven spanning trees (CDST), and continuous...
Circuit interconnect has become a substantial obstacle in the design of high performance systems. In this paper we explore a new routing paradigm that strikes at the root of the i...
A new ADC architecture is devised. This architecture is memory based, in which the last sample is used to predict the current one, resulting in both power dissipation and energy r...
We present a new timing driven method for global placement. Our method is based on the observation that similar net length reductions in the different nets that make up a path may...
In this paper a wave-pipelining scheme is used to increase the performance of a router architecture. Wave-pipelining has a potential of significantly reducing clock cycle time an...
System-level power exploration requires tools for estimation of the overall power consumed by a system, as well as a detailed breakdown of the consumption of its main functional b...
