The standard cell placement problem has been extensively studied in the past twenty years. Many approaches were proposed and proven e ective in practice. However, successful place...
High quality placement results are always produced at the cost of significant runtimes. In this paper, we study the trade-off between the overall quality and the runtime for stand...
During the ispd05 placement contest, we employed the forcedirected approach Kraftwerk for global placement complemented by the network-flow based final placer Domino. These powe...
In this paper, we develop a new standard cell placement tool, Dragon2000, to solve large scale placement problem effectively. A top-down hierarchical approach is used in Dragon200...
In this paper, we present a congestion-driven placement flow. First, we consider in the global placement stage the routing demand to re-place cells in order to avoid congested re...
