Control systems are usually modeled by differential equations describing how physical phenomena can be influenced by certain control parameters or inputs. Although these models ar...
Multiple clock cycles are needed to cross the global interconnects for multi-gigahertz designs in nanometer technologies. For synchronous designs, this requires retiming and pipel...
Functional verification is widely acknowledged as the bottleneck in the hardware design cycle. This paper addresses one of the main challenges of simulation based verification (or...
With the advent of deep sub-micron (DSM) era, floorplanning has become increasingly important in physical design process. In this paper we clarify a misunderstanding in using Lag...
Timing-driven placement is a critical step in nanometerscale physical synthesis. To improve design timing on a global scale, net-weight based global timing-driven placement is a c...
