Force directed mongrel with physical net constraints
This paper describes a new force directed global placement algorithm that exploits and extends techniques from two leading placers, Force-directed [12] [26] and Mongrel [22]. It c...

Handling complexities in modern large-scale mixed-size placement
In this paper, we propose an effective algorithm flow to handle largescale mixed-size placement. The basic idea is to use floorplanning to guide the placement of objects at the gl...

Highly Efficient Gradient Computation for Density-Constrained Analytical Placement
Abstract--Recent analytical global placers use density constraints to approximate nonoverlap constraints, and these show very successful results. This paper unifies a wide range of...

A sensitivity based placer for standard cells
We present a new timing driven method for global placement. Our method is based on the observation that similar net length reductions in the different nets that make up a path may...

Implementation and extensibility of an analytic placer
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...
