Evaluation of models optimizing the design of a 16-bit multiplier circuit fabricated using 45nm technology, measured by physical metrics such as area and delay.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Multiplier Design Optimization |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | 16-bit Multiplier 45nm |
| Metric | Area (µm²) |
| Unit | SIZE |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 10 of 10 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Area (µm²)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/multiplier-design-optimization-on-16-bit-multiplier-45nm.md?metric=Area%20(%C2%B5m%C2%B2)>): Lower is better; unit: SIZE.

- [Delay (ns)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/multiplier-design-optimization-on-16-bit-multiplier-45nm.md?metric=Delay%20(ns)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.
