Automatic Instantiation and Timing-Aware Placement of Bus Macros for Partially Reconfigurable FPGA Designs
… the existing implementation flows facilitate timing closure late in the design cycle by reusing the layout of unmodified blocks, dynamic modular design accelerates implementation by achieving timing closure for each block independently. A complete re-implementation is still rapid as the design …

Synthesis of multi-cycle circuits from guarded atomic actions
One solution to the timing closure problem is to perform infrequent operations in more than one clock cycle. Despite the apparent simplicity of the solution statement, it is not easily considered because it requires changes in RTL, which in turn exacerbates the verification problem. Another …

Low-Power Repeater Insertion for Global Interconnects
… of power consumption of repeaters with timing closure constraints is a very important problem in future low-power VLSI design. In this dissertation, we investigate efficient schemes for low-power repeater insertion on global interconnects. We first analyze key issues on repeater library …

New methods for electronic design automation problems
… three domains are studied in this dissertation. Timing closure, which aims to satisfy the timing constraints, is always a key problem in the physical design flow. The challenges of timing closure for IC designs keep increasing as the technology advances. During the timing optimization process, …

Design methodologies for variation-aware integrated circuits
… The over-designed circuits not only make timing closure difficult but also cause excessive power consumption. For portable electronics, excessive power consumption may reduce battery life; for non-portable systems it may impose great difficulties in cooling and packaging. The objective of …

ASIC Implementation Methodology and Design Challenges in 16nm
… are analyzed to illustrate their influence on timing closure, signal integrity, and manufacturability. Additionally, modern static timing analysis techniques, including Multi-Mode Multi-Corner (MMMC) verification and Parametric On-Chip Variation (POCV) modeling, are discussed as essential …

Strategies for Performance and Quality Improvement of Hardware Verification and Synthesis Algorithms
… proposed a novel synthesis paradigm to achieve timing-closure called Timing-Aware CUt Enumeration (TACUE). In TACUE, optimization is conducted through three aspects: First, we propose a new divide-and-conquer strategy that generates multiple sub-cuts on the critical parts of the circuit. …

Layout decomposition for triple patterning lithography
… circuits, and often lead to unexpected power/timing degenerations. Mask misalignment would complicate the way of simulating timing closure if engineers do not understand the underlying effects of mask misalignment, which only exists in multiple patterning decompositions. We mathematically …
