Automatic Clock Abstraction from Sequential Circuits
Our goal is to transform a low-level circuit design into a more representation. A pre-existing tool, Tranalyze [4], takes a switch-level circuit and generates a functionally equiv...

On the Bounded-Skew Clock and Steiner Routing Problems
We study the minimum-costbounded-skewrouting tree (BST) problem under the linear delay model. This problem captures several engineering tradeoffs in the design of routing topologi...

A General Method for Compiling Event-Driven Simulations
Abstract—We present a new approach to event-driven simulation that does not use a centralized run-time event queue, yet is capable of handling arbitrary models, including those w...
