Abstract— With technology scaling, on-chip power densities are growing steadily, leading to the point where temperature has become an important consideration in the design of ele...
— Fixed-die floorplanning is an important problem in the modern physical design process. An effective floorplanning algorithm is crucial to improving both the quality and the t...
- We propose a hardware performance estimation flow for fast design space exploration, based on worst-case execution time analysis algorithms for software analysis. Test cases on s...
— A complete multiple reciprocity method (CMRM), usually for the eigenvalue analysis of Helmholtz equation, is introduced to the BEM for frequency-dependent inductance extraction...
- Timing closure in LSI design becomes more and more difficult. But the conventional interconnect RC extraction method have over-margins caused by its corner conditions settings. I...
— Lack of complete formal specification is one of the major obstacles for the deployment of model checking. Coverage estimation addresses this issue by revealing the unverified...
System-on-chip and system-in-package result in increased number of I/O cells and complicated constraints for both chip designs and package designs. This renders the traditional ma...
