Nanoelectronics research has primarily focused on devices. By contrast, not much has been published on innovations at higher layers: we know little about how to construct circuits...
Grid-warping is a new placement algorithm based on a strikingly simple idea: rather than move the gates to optimize their location, we elastically deform a model of the 2-0 chip s...

In this paper, we describe a new methodology based on game theory for minimizing the average power of a circuit during scheduling in behavioral synthesis. The problem of schedulin...
In dense integrated circuit designs, management of routing congestion is essential; an over congested design may be unroutable. Many factors influence congestion: placement, rout...
With scaling down to deep submicron and nanometer technologies, noise immunity is becoming a metric of the same importance as power, speed, and area. Smaller feature sizes, low vo...
