Elevated chip temperatures are true limiters to the scalability of computing systems. Excessive runtime thermal variations compromise the performance and reliability of integrated...
The ability to account for the growing impacts of multiple process variations in modern technologies is becoming an integral part of nanometer VLSI design. Under the context of ti...
The next generation of computer chips will continue the trend for more complexity than their predecessors. Many of them will contain different chip technologies and are termed SoC...
Skin effect makes interconnect resistance and inductance frequency dependent. This paper addresses the problem of efficiently estimating the signal characteristics of any RLC netw...
Traditionally, rectilinear Steiner minimum trees (RSMT) are widely used for routing estimation in design optimizations like floorplanning and physical synthesis. Since it optimize...
