The present disclosure relates to an innovative method of assigning signals to general-purpose input/output pads of an integrated circuit chip. An inductance matrix for the input/output pads is obtained. A candidate assignment is made of a differential signal to a pair of the input/output pads, and a differential mutual inductance is determined for each open pad location in relation to the pair of input/output pads. Single-ended signals are assigned to open pad locations having the lowest differential mutual inductances. The jitter contribution due to each assigned single-ended signal is computed, and a total jitter is updated. In a first embodiment, said assigning, computing and updating steps are repeated until the total jitter exceeds a total jitter budget. In a second embodiment, said assigning, computing and updating steps are repeated until a number of assigned single-ended signals is equal to a target number. Other embodiments and features are also disclosed.

A method for modeling a sparse function over sequences is described. The method includes inputting a set of sequences that support a function. A set of prefixes and a set of suffixes for the set of sequences are identified. A sub-block of a full matrix is identified which has the full structural rank as the full matrix.
