Multiple clock cycles are needed to cross the global interconnects for multi-gigahertz designs in nanometer technologies. For synchronous design, this requires the consideration o...

In this paper, we study the problem of retiming of sequential circuits with both interconnect and gate delay. Most retiming algorithms have assumed ideal conditions for the non-lo...

The recent demand for system-on-chip RF mixed-signal design and aggressive supply-voltage reduction require chip-level accurate analysis of both the substrate and power delivery s...

Optimizing array accesses is extremely critical in embedded computing as many embedded applications make use of arrays (in form of images, video frames, etc). Previous research co...

The Y-architecture for on-chip interconnect is based on pervasive use of 0-, 120-, and 240-degree oriented semi-global and global wiring. Its use of three uniform directions explo...

A new technique for the logic synthesis of asynchronous circuits is presented. It is based on the structural theory of Petri nets and integer linear programming. The technique is ...
Current CMOS technologies are characterized by interconnect lines with increased relative resistance w.r.t. driver output resistance. Designs generate signal waveshapes that are v...
Recent efforts in adapting computer networks into system-on-chip (SOC), or network-on-chip, present a setback to the traditional computer systems for the lack of effective program...
In this paper, we present improvements to recursive bisection based placement. In contrast to prior work, our horizontal cut lines are not restricted to row boundaries; this avoid...

In the context of physical synthesis, large-scale standard-cell placement algorithms must facilitate incremental changes to layout, both local and global. In particular, flexible...
