This paper provides a review of both Rent's rule and the placement models derived from it. It
is proposed that the power-law form of Rent's rule, which predicts the number of terminals …

In this paper, the wire (interconnect)-length distribution of three-dimensional (3-D) integrated
circuits (ICs) is derived using Rent's rule and following the methodology used to estimate …

In this paper, analytical models for predicting interconnect requirements in field-
programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are presented, and opportunities for three-dimensional …

For the development and evaluation of computer-aided design tools for partitioning,
floorplanning, placement, and routing of digital circuits, a huge amount of benchmark circuits …

A multi-path router includes an interface module (IM) having a time-sensitive logical
processing path and a non-time-sensitive logical processing path and a special needs …

Three-dimensional (3-D) integration is an attractive technology to reduce wirelengths in a
field-programmable gate array (FPGA). However, it suffers from two problems: one, the inter …

Hardware Trojans (HTs) have been generally inserted at the lower levels of the digital
system design and fabrication process, where, due to the high complexity of the hardware …

A multichannel free-space microoptical module for dense MCM-level optical
interconnections has been designed and fabricated. Extensive modeling proves that the …

This paper presents the results of the optical packet switched network (OPSnet) project,
which investigated the design of an asynchronous optical packet switch suitable for the core …
