Algorithm driven Power-Timing Optimization Methodology for CMOS Digital Circuits considering PVTA Variations

In this paper, we aim at optimizing the leakage power and propagation delays using optimization algorithms like Glowworm Swarm Optimization and Neighbourhood Cultivation Genetic Algorithm, subjected to variations in Process, Voltage, Temperature and Aging degradation (PVTA) targeting low power or high performance applications. For high performance applications, we synthesize transistor sizes, at w...
