It has become increasingly apparent that perception cannot be treated in isolation from the response generation, firstly because a very high degree of integration is required between different levels of percepts and corresponding response primitives. Secondly, it turns out that the response to be produced at a given instance is as much dependent upon the state of the system, as the percepts imp...

ADVANCED TIMING AND SYNCHRONIZATION METHODOLOGIES FOR DIGITAL VLSI INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

In this work we study the problem of finding axesparallel regions of maximum density for weighted point sets in IR and IR. The 2-d variant is motivated by applications in thermal analysis of VLSI chips.

A new fast and accurate capacitance determination methodology for intricate multilayer VLSI interconnects is presented. Since a multilayer interconnect structure is too complicated to be directly tractable, it is simplified by investigating charge distributions within the system. The quasi-three-dimensional (3-D) capacitances of the structure are then determined by combining a set of solid-grou...
