The design of high-throughput large-state Viterbi decoders relies on the use of multiple arithmetic units. The global communication channels among these parallel processors often ...
The ability to compute the parasitic inductance of the interconnect is critical to the timing verification of modern VLSI circuits. A challenging aspect of inductance extraction i...
We propose a false-path-aware statistical timing analysis framework. In our framework, cell as well as interconnect delays are assumed to be correlated random variables. Our tool ...
This paper presents efficient automatic code synthesis techniques from dataflow graphs for multimedia applications. Since multimedia applications require large size buffers contai...
Conventional global routing minimizes total wire length and congestion. Experiments using large industrial benchmark circuits show that up to 24% of nets in such routing solutions...
Profiling an application executing on a microprocessor is part of the solution to numerous software and hardware optimization and design automation problems. Most current profilin...
An architectural solution to reducing memory energy consumption is to adopt a multi-bank memory system instead of a monolithic (single-bank) memory system. Some recent multi-bank ...

We extend in this paper the concept of the P-admissible floorplan representation to that of the P*-admissible one. A P*-admissible representation can model the most general floorp...
