Satisfiability (SAT) solvers often benefit from a preprocessing of the formula to be decided. For formulae in conjunctive normal form (CNF), subsumed clauses may be removed or par...
This tutorial paper surveys the potential implications of subwavelength optical lithography for new tools and flows in the interface between layout design and manufacturability. W...
In this paper, we establish a theoretical framework for a new concept of scheduling called soft scheduling. In contrasts to the traditional schedulers referred as hard schedulers,...
We recently introduced symbolic timing simulation (STS) using data-dependent delays as a tool for verifying the timing of fullcustom transistor-level circuit designs, and for the ...
Crosstalk effects degrade the integrity of signals traveling on long interconnects and must be addressed during manufacturing testing. External testing for crosstalk is expensive ...
