We propose a new multilevel framework for large-scale placement called MAPLE that respects utilization constraints, handles movable macros and guides the transition between global...

Automatic circuit placement has received renewed interest recently given the rapid increase of circuit complexity, increase of interconnect delay, and potential sub-optimality of ...
In this paper, we propose the first metal-density driven placement algorithm to reduce CMP variation and achieve higher routability. Based on an analytical placement framework, we...

We present new techniques for explicit constraint satisfaction in the incremental placement process. Our algorithm employs a Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) type approach in the analyt...
We describe active measurements of topology and end-to-end latency characteristics between several of the DNS root servers and a subset of their clients using the skitter tool dev...
