Dynamic noise analysis is recently gaining more attention as a definitive method to overcome glaring deficiencies of static noise analysis. Exact dynamic noise analysis requires...
We propose a new metric for evaluation of interconnect architectures. This metric is computed by optimal assignment of wires from a given wire length distribution (WLD) to a given...
