—This paper introduces a simple method for calculating the times at which any signal crosses a prespecified threshold voltage (e.g., 10%, 20%, 50%, etc.) directly from the moment...
The main goal of this paper is to develop deeper insights into viable placement-level optimization of routing. Two primary contributions are made. First, an experimental framework...
This paper introduces an efficient and accurate interconnect simulation technique. A new formulation for typical VLSI interconnect structures is proposed which, in addition to pr...
Traditional timing-driven placement considers only combinational delays and does not take into account the potential of subsequent sequential optimization steps. As a result, the ...
Abstract— High-level synthesis (HLS) of memory-intensive applications has featured several innovations in terms of enhancements made to the basic memory organization and data lay...
Polynomial expressions are used to compute a wide variety of mathematical functions commonly found in signal processing and graphics applications, which provide good opportunities...
