For a given block size, replication, and number of treatments, it is well known that a balanced incomplete block design, if one exists, is of maximum efficiency. We take the case of an even number of ...

Even when a parameter set (v, k, λ) satisfies the necessary conditions for the existence of a Balanced Incomplete Block (BIB) design, the actual design may not exist or its existence may be unknown.

Between the complexity of advanced node design verification and the competition to be first to the market, system-on-chip (SoC) designers no longer have the luxury of waiting until each sub-block of a ...

In most design companies, the chip-level physical implementation teams responsible for design floorplanning in place and route (P&R) environments also manage top-level physical verification from the ...
