Physical Design for Multichip Modules
This thesis deals with four physical design problems in the multichip module (MCM) environment: interconnect analysis, chip placement, global tree construction, and layer assignment. The emphasis is on maximizing the electrical performance, based on accurate modeling of MCM interconnect behavior. A …

A Design Methodology for Physical Design for Testability
Physical design for testability (PDFT) is a strategy to design circuits in a way to avoid or reduce realistic physical faults. The goal of this work is to define and establish a speci c methodology for PDFT. The proposed design methodology includes techniques to reduce potential bridging faults in …

Routing algorithms in the physical design of VLSI circuits
… solve several important routing problems in the physical design of VLSI circuits. We successfully apply combinatorial optimization techniques to these problems and obtain very effective and efficient algorithms. The experimental results presented in this thesis show that these algorithms produce …

Routing Problems in the Physical Design of Integrated Circuits (Cad, Simulated Annealing, Channel Routing)
In this thesis, we study an approach to the physical design of integrated circuits in which some design flexibilities are incorporated into the routing step via suitable generalizations of the routing model. Better layouts are obtained using this approach since the router can make use of these …

Combinatorial optimization by stochastic evolution with applications to the physical design of VLSI circuits
In this thesis, a new general adaptive algorithm for solving a wide variety of NP-Complete combinatorial problems is developed. The new technique is called Stochastic Evolution (SE). The SE algorithm is applied to Network Bisection, Vertex Cover, Set Partition, Hamilton Circuit, Traveling Salesman, …

Design of automotive joints: using optimization to translate performance criteria to physical design parameters
In the preliminary design stage of a car body, targets are first set on the performance characteristics of the overall body and its components using optimization and engineering judgment. Then designers try to design the components to meet the determined performance targets and keep the weight low …

The integration of urban system science and physical design: dynamic simulation technologies for urban resilience
… uncertainty inherent in urban systems. While design/planning solutions are intended to manage or abate a wide array of negative impacts on the built environment, they many times fail to achieve their intended goals due to an inability to assess the complex interactions in urban systems. These …

Physical design cognition : an analytical study of exploratory model making to inform creative robotic interaction
In current practices of digital design fabrication, model making is bifurcated into screen based visualization (CAD) and machine based production (CAM), which limits the body's capability of generating creative thought through material interaction. If theories from the field of cognitive science …

Physical Design Changes in the 19th Century English Asylums: A Study of Insane Asylums as Presented in ‘The Builder’ from 1843-1923
… of ‘Moral Treatment’ 19th century asylums were designed as a curative solution for lunatic patients. Many 19th century scholars considered architectural design elements as remedies for the lunatic population. Due to the presumed connection between architecture and patient cure, many 19th century …

Instance-Optimized Database Indexes and Storage Layouts
For any modern database system, its physical design, which is composed of both the storage layout of the data itself and auxiliary data structures such as indexes, is a critical piece of maintaining high performance in the face of increasing data volumes. Existing physical design components are …

A Critical Study of Gallium Nitride-Based Digital Technology
A careful physical design, namely, layout, can convert the design into tangible devices without fabrication problems. The horseshoe-shaped gate and the design rule of thumb were proposed in the physical design and two mask sets were fabricated. Keys to the fabrication of GaN BGJFETs may be the …
