We extend the APlace wirelength-driven standard-cell analytic placement framework of [21] to address timing-driven and mixedsize (“boulders and dust”) placement. Compared with...
—This paper presents an efficient technique for the estimation of the routed wirelength during global placement using the wire density of the net. The proposed method identifie...
In addition to wirelength, modern placers need to consider various constraints such as preplaced blocks and density. We propose a high-quality analytical placement algorithm consi...
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...
