Linear programming (LP) based methods are attractive for solving the placement problem because of their ability to model Half-Perimeter Wirelength (HPWL) and timing. However, it h...
: In ultra-deep submicron VLSI circuits, clock network is a major source of power consumption and power supply noise. Therefore, it is very important to minimize clock network size...
This paper advances a new methodology based on signal-path information to resolve the problem of device-level placement for analog layout. This methodology is mainly based on three...
As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
This work explores the effect of adding a timing driven functional decomposition step to the traditional field programmable gate array (FPGA) CAD flow. Once placement has comple...
