  • Abstract
    The authors introduce a fast, parallelizable approach to circuit clustering based on analysis of random walks in the netlist. The method yields good clustering solutions for classes of `difficult´ inputs in the literature as well as for industry benchmark circuits. The authors characterize their results using a new clustering metric which facilitates comparison with future work. Extensions to a number of other CAD applications are proposed
