We propose GRIP, a scalable global routing technique via Integer Programming (IP). GRIP optimizes wirelength and via cost without going through a layer assignment phase. GRIP sele...

A typical hardware development flow starts the verification process concurrently with RTL, but the overall schedule becomes limited by the effort required to complete all the nece...
Process scaling has given designers billions of transistors to work with. As feature sizes near the atomic scale, extensive variation and wearout inevitably make margining unecono...

The progress of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) technology opens a new avenue for boosting computing power. This work is an attempt to exploit GPU for accelerating VLSI circuit opt...
We present a novel technique for Sequential Equivalence Checking (SEC) between non-cycle-accurate designs. The problem is routinely encountered in verifying the correctness of a s...
