Global routing is an important step in the physical design process. In this paper, we propose a new global routing algorithm Archer, which resolves some of the most common problem...
With shrinking feature size and growing integration density in the Deep Sub-Micron technologies, the global buses are fast becoming the “weakest-links” in VLSI design. They ha...
High power consumption will shorten battery life for handheld devices and cause thermal and reliability problems. One way to lower the dynamic power consumption is to reduce the s...
