Integrated circuits (IC) are used in every aspect of our modern lives, and their performance and cost have significant impact on our society. ICs are made of billions of transistors ranging between 45 to 14 nm in size, making them smaller than most viruses. To be able to deal with the sheer numbers and extreme sizes of IC, every aspect of their production needs to be automatically designed and optimized using Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools. The overall goal of the proposed research program is use optimization, data mining, parallel programming and estimation techniques to design better EDA tools that address the above challenges. In addition, the developed design automation tools will be modified to optimize the operation of other research areas such as communication and oil and gas extraction.

集成电路（IC）应用于我们现代生活的各个方面，其性能和成本对我们的社会产生重大影响。集成电路由数十亿个晶体管组成，大小在45到14纳米之间，比大多数病毒都要小。为了能够处理数量庞大和尺寸极端的IC，其生产的各个方面都需要使用电子设计自动化（EDA）工具进行自动设计和优化。该研究计划的总体目标是使用优化，数据挖掘，并行编程和评估技术来设计更好的EDA工具，以解决上述挑战。此外，开发的设计自动化工具将被修改，以优化其他研究领域的运作，如通信和石油和天然气开采。
