We study alternatives to FM-based partitioning in the context of end-case processing for top-down standard-cell placement. The primary motivation is that small partitioning instan...

Many high-level language compilers generate C code and then invoke a C compiler for code generation. To date, most of these compilers link the resulting code against a conservativ...
The circuit tuning problem is best approached by means of gradient-based nonlinear optimization algorithms. For large circuits, gradient computation can be the bottleneck in the o...
