Conventional global routing minimizes total wire length and congestion. Experiments using large industrial benchmark circuits show that up to 24% of nets in such routing solutions...
Capacitance extraction is an important problem that has been extensively studied. This paper presents a significant improvement for the fast multipole accelerated boundary element...
We present applications of a recently developed automated nonlinear macromodelling approach to the important problem of macromodelling high-speed output buffers/drivers. Good nonl...
The race conditions often limit the smallest feasible clock period that the optimal clock skew scheduling can achieve. Therefore, the combination of clock skew scheduling and dela...
Placement migration is the movement of cells within an existing placement to address a variety of post-placement design closure issues, such as timing, routing congestion, signal ...
