The concept of improving the timing behavior of a circuit by relocating flip-flops is called retiming and was first presented by Leiserson and Saxe. The ASTRA algorithm propose...
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundles have the potential to provide an attractive solution for the resistivity and electromigration problems faced by traditional copper int...
In the digital VLSI cycle, logic transformations are often required to modify the design to meet different synthesis and optimization goals. Logic transformations on sequential ci...
