An efficient approach to simultaneous transistor and interconnect sizing
In this paper, we study the simultaneous transistor and interconnect sizing (STIS) problem. We de ne a class of optimization problems as CH-posynomial programs and reveal a genera...

Optimal non-uniform wire-sizing under the Elmore delay model
We consider non-uniform wire-sizing for general routing trees under the Elmore delay model. Three minimization objectives are studied: 1) total weighted sink-delays; 2) total area...
