In this work, we study the different buffering techniques used in the literature to solve the contention problem in A TM switching architectures. The objective of our study is to ...
We present BonnPlace, a new VLSI placement algorithm that combines the advantages of analytical and partitioning-based placers. Based on (non-disjoint) placements minimizing the t...
Variability of process parameters makes prediction of digital circuit timing characteristics an important and challenging problem in modern chip design. Recently, statistical stat...
