APlace is a high quality, scalable analytical placer. This paper describes our recent efforts to improve APlace for speed and scalability. We explore various wirelength and densi...
We streamline and extend APlace, the general analytic placement engine based on ideas of Naylor et al. [7] and described in [3, 4, 5]. Previous work explored the adaptability of A...
Automated cell placement is a critical problem in VLSI physical design. New analytical placement methods that simultaneously spread cells and optimize wirelength have recently rec...
— This paper presents a robust quadratic placement approach, which offers both high-quality placements and excellent computational efficiency. The additional force which distrib...
Background: Defects are related to failures and they do not have much power for indicating a higher quality or a better system above the baseline that the end-users expect. Nevert...
