Mountain-mover: An intuitive logic shifting heuristic for improving timing slack violating paths
TL;DR: Experimental results demonstrate that this scheme can obtain a better or comparable delay reduction but with CPU time one order of magnitude smaller.

Techniques for providing a seamless break reminder in the multi-device and multi-user environment
TL;DR: In this paper, a management service monitors usage activity of one or more devices by a first user in a plurality of users and sends the break reminder to at least one of the devices currently being used.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
WRIP: logic restructuring techniques for wirelength-driven incremental placement
TL;DR: WRIP is the first attempt to fully integrate powerful logic synthesis into industrial placement tools with real-life effectiveness and efficiency and reduces the wirelength under an accurate estimation of the half perimeter wirelength (HPWL) metric.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The future of clock network synthesis
TL;DR: The clock distribution network presents one of the most important design challenges in high-performance synchronous VLSI designs, however, automation in clock network synthesis is usually limited to local clock domains for two main reasons.
