In this paper, we study optimal bu er design in high-performance VLSI systems. Speci cally, we design a bu er for a given load such that chip area and power dissipation are minima...

In a typical VLSI/PCB design, some modules are pre-placed in advance, and the other modules are requested to be placed without overlap with these pre-placed modules. The presence ...

We present results which show that a separate global and detailed routing strategy can be competitive with a combined routing process. Under restricted architectural assumptions, ...

In this paper, we consider the delay minimization problem of a wire by simultaneously considering bu er insertion, bu er sizing and wire sizing. We consider three versions of the ...
