In this paper we present a generic interconnect fabric for transaction level modelling tackeling three major aspects. First, a review of the bus and IO structures that we have ana...
In this paper, we propose a new linear programming based timing driven placement framework for high performance designs. Our LP framework is mainly net-based, but it takes advanta...
