Due to the widespread software piracy and virus attacks, significant efforts have been made to improve security for computer systems. For stand-alone computers, a key observation...
We present an equation-based transistor size optimizer that minimizes delay of custom circuits. Our method uses static timing analysis to find the critical paths and numerical met...
