Abstract

The International Conference on Computer Aided Design (ICCAD) offers a place for CAD developers and IC designers to meet and exchange ideas about the problems and solutions in the era of system–on–a–chip. Keywords: 1) SYNTHESIS, VERIFICATION AND PHYSICAL DESIGN 1.1 Logic Synthesis: Synthesis, technology mapping. Refinement techniques. Direct compilation and post–optimization. Micro–architectural transformations. Memory system synthesis. 1.2 Simulation and Formal Verification: Formal verification techniques. HW/SW co–simulation. Switch, logic and behavioral simulation, and design validation. Protocol and interface design for correctness. Software verification. Emulation. Hybrid Systems. 1.3 Partitioning, Placement and Floorplanning: High–level physical design and synthesis. Estimation and hierarchy management. Partitioning, floor–planning and global placement. Detailed and incremental placement. 1.4 Routing and Detailed Physical Design: Detailed routing, including routing for yield, manufacturability, and timing. Post–placement layout optimization. 1.5 Optimization in Physical Design: Optimization for area, timing, power, and yield. Interaction between physical design and logic synthesis. 2) CAD FOR SYSTEMS 2.1 System Design and Optimization: HW/SW co–optimization and co–exploration.
