Search-based software engineering is an emerging paradigm that uses automated search algorithms to help designers iteratively find solutions to complicated design problems. For exa...
This paper presents an efficient heuristic algorithm to design a power distribution network of a chip by employing a successive partitioning and grid refinement scheme. In an it...
The rapidly expanding diversity of technology available at the nanoscale is disrupting the existing transistorcentric microelectronics design paradigm, resulting in nearly decade-l...
The classic algorithm for optimal buffer insertion due to van Ginneken has time and space complexity O(n2 ), where n is the number of possible buffer positions. We present a new a...
This paper attempts to quantify the optimality of FPGA technology mapping algorithms. We develop an algorithm, based on Boolean satisfiability (SAT), that is able to map a small s...
