Wednesday, June 12, 2002, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM | Room: Auditorium A SESSION 27    Power Distribution Issues    Chair: Sachin Sapatnekar - Univ of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN    Organizers: Abhijit Dharchoudhury, Tadahiro Kuroda    Power distribution issues are becoming extremely important as levels of integration increase. The first paper describes a model-order reduction method for hierarchical power grid analysis. The second paper describes a frequency-domain macromodel for block current signatures. The third paper describes circuit models for the chip interface, and the fourth paper describes a method for analyzing symmetrical P/G networks. The final paper describes a method to optimize clock distribution networks using supply current folding.      27.1 HiPRIME: Hierarchical and Passivity Reserved Interconnect Macromodeling Engine for RLKC Power Delivery    Speaker(s): Yahong Cao - Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison, WI    Author(s): Yahong Cao - Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison, WI YuMin Lee - Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison, WI Tsunghao Chen - Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison, WI ChungPing Chen - Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison, WI      27.2 High-Level Current Macro-Model For Power-Grid Analysis    Speaker(s): Srinivas Bodapati - Univ. of Illinois, Urbana, IL    Author(s): Srinivas Bodapati - Univ. of Illinois, Urbana, IL Farid N.
