: Power consumption in datapath modules due to redundant switching is an important design concern for high-performance applications. Operand isolation schemes are adopted to reduce...
With the increase of design complexities and the decrease of minimal feature sizes, IP reuse is becoming a common practice while crosstalk is becoming a critical issue that must b...
─ In this paper, we present Forge, an optimal algorithm for gate sizing using the Elmore delay model. The algorithm utilizes Lagrangian relaxation with a fast gradient-based pre-...
Abstract—Interconnects (wires, buffers, clock distribution networks, multiplexers and busses) consume a significant fraction of total circuit power. In this work, we demonstrat...
More aggressive design practices have created renewed interest in techniques for analyzing substrate coupling problems. Most previous work has focused primarily on faster techniqu...
