Abstract— Timing and low power emerge as the most important goals in contemporary design. Meanwhile, the majority of placement algorithms developed by industry and academia still...
The increasing clock frequencies in high-end industrial circuits bring new routing challenges that can not be handled by traditional algorithms. An important design automation pro...
— The paper addresses the problem of performance optimization for a set of periodic tasks with discrete voltage/frequency states under thermal constraints. We prove that the prob...
– Identifying worst-case voltage drop conditions in every module supplied by the power grid is a crucial problem in modern IC design. In this paper we develop a novel methodology...
