In the design of complex power distribution networks (PDN) with multiple power islands, it is required that the PDN represents a low impedance as seen by the digital modules. This...
A fundamental problem in timing-driven physical synthesis is the reduction of critical paths in a design. In this work, we propose a powerful new technique that moves (and can als...

Single-chip parallel processing requires high bandwidth between processors and on-chip memory modules. A recently proposed Mesh-of-Trees (MoT) network provides high throughput and...
In 90-nm technology, dynamic power is still the largest power source in FPGAs [1], and signal glitches contribute a large portion of the dynamic power consumption. Previous powera...
