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...

The Elmore Delay as a Bound for RC Trees with Generalized Input Signals
The Elmore delay is an extremely popular delay metric, particularly for RC tree analysis. The widespread usage of this metric is mainly attributable to it being the most accurate ...

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...

Interval Scheduling: Fine-Grained Code Scheduling for Embedded Systems
Abstract A central problem in embedded system co-synthesis is the generation of software for lowlevel I O. Scheduling still remains a manual task because existing coarse-grained re...
