With each vertex v of a directed acyclic graph, we associate two delay values d0(v) ≤ d1(v) and two leakage values c0(v) ≥ c1(v). The objective is to choose one of the indices 0 or 1 for each vertex, such that in first instance the corresponding total delay along any directed path is minimal, and in second instance the total leakage is minimized. We prove that a very restricted special case of this problem already is NP-hard, and we present four different heuristic approaches to the problem. Further, we test our algorithms on ISCAS85 benchmark circuits.", note="Konrad Engel, Thomas Kalinowski, Roger Labahn, Frank Sill, Dirk Timmermann", doi="10.18453/rosdok_id00005895", url="https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00005895", url="https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00005895", language="English" }
