Modern Circuit Placement: Best Practices and Results by Gi-Joon Nam, Jason Cong
Requirements: .PDF reader, 16 MB
Overview: Modern Circuit Placement: Best Practices and Results describes advanced techniques in VLSI circuit placement which is one of the most important steps of the VLSI physical design flow. Physical design addresses the back-end layout stage of the chip design process. As technology scales down, the significance of interconnect optimization becomes much more important and physical design, particularly the placement process, is essential to interconnect optimization.

This book has four unique characteristics. First, it focuses on the most recent highly scalable placement techniques used for multi-million gate circuit designs, with consideration of many practical aspects of modern circuit placement, such as density and routability control, mixed-size placement support, and area I/O support. Second the book addresses dominant techniques being used in the field. This book includes all the academic placement tools that competed at the International Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD) placement contest in 2005 and 2006. Although these tools are developed by academia, many core techniques in these tools are being used extensively in industry and represent today’s advanced placement techniques. Third, the book provides quantitative comparison among the various techniques on common benchmark circuits derived from real-life industrial designs. The book includes significant amounts of analysis on each technique, such as trade-offs between quality-of-results (QoR) and runtime. Finally, analysis of the optimality of the placement techniques is included. This is done by utilizing placement benchmarks with known optimal solutions, yet with characteristics similar to real industrial designs.

Modern Circuit Placement: Best Practices and Results is a valuable tool and a must-read for graduate students, researchers and CAD tool developers in the VLSI physical synthesis and physical design fields.

Complex Medical Engineering by Jing Long Wu (Professor), Koji Ito (Professor), Shozo Tobimatsu (Professor and Chairman), Toyoaki Nishida (Professor), Hidenao Fukuyama (Professor)
Requirements: .PDF reader, 26 MB
Overview: In the twenty-first century, applications in medicine and engineering must acquire greater safety and flexibility if they are to yield better products at higher efficiency. To this end, complex science and technology must be integrated in medicine and engineering. Complex medical engineering (CME) is a new field that merges medical science and technology, and includes biomedical robotics and biomechatronics, complex virtual technology in medicine, information and communication technology in medicine, complex technology in rehabilitation, cognitive neuroscience and technology, and complex bioinformatics. Experts from academia, industry, and government research laboratories who have pioneered CME ideas and technologies describe its concept and research approach and discuss related hardware and software, science and technology, and medicine and engineering. This book will be invaluable to scientists, researchers, and graduates in the emerging field of CME.

Analog Design Centering and Sizing by Helmut E. Graeb
Requirements: .PDF reader, 6 MB
Overview: This book represents a compendium of fundamental problem formulations of analog design centering and sizing. It provides a differentiated knowledge about the tasks of analog design centering and sizing. In particular the wor- case problem will be formulated. It stands at the interface between process technology and design technology. This book wants to point out that and how both process and design technology are required for its solution. Algorithms based on the presented material are for instance available in the EDA tool WiCkeD [88]. The intention is to enable analog and mixed-signal designers to assess CAD solution methods that are presented to them. On the other side, the intention is to enable developers of analog CAD tools to formulate and develop solution approaches for analog design centering and sizing. The structure of the book is geared towards a combination of a reference book and a textbook. The presentation goes from general topics to the more speci?c details, preceding material is usually a prerequisite for succeeding material. The formulations of tasks and solution approaches by mathematical means makes the book suitable as well for students dealing with analog design and design methodology. The contents is structured as follows: Chapter1sketchestheroleofanalogcircuitsandanalogdesigninintegrated circuits. Anoverviewofanalogsizingtasksandthecorrespondingterminology is introduced. Chapter 2 illustrates analog sizing and yield optimization/design centering with the simplest example of an RC circuit. Chapter 3 describes the basic input and output quantities of analog sizing.

Experimental Unsaturated Soil Mechanics by T. Schanz
Requirements: .PDF reader, 26 MB
Overview: These proceedings are a continuation of the series of International Conferences in Germany entitled “Mechanics of Unsaturated Soils.” The primary objective is to discuss and understand unsaturated soil behaviour such that engineered activities are made better with times in terms of judgement and quality. We all realise by now that in addition to the knowledge on the classical concepts, it becomes an enormous challenging task to adapt convincing new concepts and present them in such a way that it could be used in engineering practices.

The experimental studies reported primarily focus on the role of microstructure and fabric for the complex coupled hydro-mechanical behaviour of cohesive frictional materials. Several papers consider the relevance of temperature affecting the constitutive behaviour of clays. Common features of state of the art theoretical and numerical approaches, including theory of porous media and mixture theory, intend to describe the complex multi-field problems of fully coupled thermo-hydraulic-mechanical-chemical initial – boundary value problems. Applications include highly toxic waste disposals, slope stability problems and contaminants transport in porous media.

These proceedings would have been not possible without financial support by the German Research Foundation (DFG). We gratefully acknowledge the support of ISSMGE, especially TC6 “Unsaturated Soils”.

Analytic Methods for Design Practice by Gyung-Jin Park
Requirements: .PDF reader, 6 MB
Overview: In the competitive world of modern engineering, rigorous and definite design methodologies are needed. However, many parts of engineering design are performed in either an ad-hoc manner or based on the intuition of the engineer. This is the first book to look at both stages of the design process – conceptual design and detailed design – and detail design methodologies for every step of the design process. The following analytic design methodologies are introduced and their usefulness is explored with many mathematical and practical examples: Axiomatic design; Optimization; Design of experiments; Robust design; Structural optimization; Dynamic response optimization; and Multidisciplinary optimization. Case studies show how practical design problems can be solved with analytic design methods. Students will find this book an excellent introduction to the subject. The book’s practical focus will interest practising engineers as a practical handbook of design.
