چکیده
ions of the global environment are brought down to the macro level to guide macro-level implementation. Shadow This is a representation of the global wires overlaying a macro that is used to guide macro physical design and for macro extraction. Timing assertions This is information on the global timing at macro interfaces-arrival times with phase tags on inputs, required arrival times with phase tags on outputs, primary input resistances, and primary output

A Unified Approach for Design of Lp Polynomial Algorithms
By summarizing Khachiyan's algorithm and Karmarkar's algorithm forlinear program (LP) a unified methodology for the design of polynomial-time algorithms for LP is presented in this paper. A key concept is the so-called extended binary search (EBS) algorithm introduced by the author. It is used as a unified model to analyze the complexities of the existing modem LP algorithms and possibly, help ...
متن کاملA Design Methodology for Reliable MRF-Based Logic Gates
Probabilistic-based methods have been used for designing noise tolerant circuits recently. In these methods, however, there is not any reliability mechanism that is essential for nanometer digital VLSI circuits. In this paper, we propose a novel method for designing reliable probabilistic-based logic gates. The advantage of the proposed method in comparison with previous probabilistic-based met...
متن کاملStandard-cell-based design methodology for high-performance support chips
We describe the methodology used for the design of a set of CMOS support chips used in the IBM S/390@ Parallel Enterprise Server Generations 3 and 4. The logic design is based on functional units, and the majority of the logic is implemented by standard cell elements placed and routed flat, using timing-driven techniques. Custom library elements are used wherever needed for performance reasons....

Microprocessor advances in architectural complexity, circuit density, cycle time, and technology-rel...
متن کاملData mining for decision making in engineering optimal design
Often in modeling the engineering optimization design problems, the value of objective function(s) is not clearly defined in terms of design variables. Instead it is obtained by some numerical analysis such as FE structural analysis, fluid mechanic analysis, and thermodynamic analysis, etc. Yet, the numerical analyses are considerably time consuming to obtain the final value of objective functi...
