Résumé :	This book carefully details design tools and techniques for high-performance ASIC design. Using these techniques, the performance of ASIC designs can be improved by two to three times. Important topics include: -Improving performance through microarchitecture; -Timing-driven floorplanning; -Controlling and exploiting clock skew; -High performance latch-based design in an ASIC methodology; -Automatically identifying and synthesizing complex logic gates; -Automated cell sizing to increase performance and reduce power; -Controlling process variation. These techniques are illustrated by designs running two to three times the speed of typical ASICs in the same process generation.
