Buffer insertion seeks to place buffers on the wires of a signal net to minimize delay. Van Ginneken [14] proposed an optimal dynamic programming solution (with extensions propose...
In this paper, we propose a global routing algorithm for multi-layer building-block layouts. The algorithm is based on successive ripup and rerouting while satisfying edge capacit...
This paper introduces GRASP (Generic seaRch Algorithm for the Satisfiability Problem), an integrated algorithmic framework for SAT that unifies several previously proposed searchp...
Abstract-- In this paper, a technique that can efficiently reduce peak and average switching activity during test application is proposed. The proposed method does not require any ...
—A problem in technology mapping is that the quality of the final implementation depends significantly on the initially provided circuit structure. This problem is critical, es...
