Free space management for cut-based placement
IP blocks and large macro cells are increasingly prevalent in physical design, actually causing an increase in the available free space for the dust logic. We observe that top-dow...

Fast Analytic Placement using Minimum Cost Flow
Many current integrated circuits designs, such as those released for the ISPD2005[14] placement contest, are extremely large and can contain a great deal of white space. These new...

A network-flow approach to timing-driven incremental placement for ASICs
We present a novel incremental placement methodology called FlowPlace for significantly reducing critical path delays of placed standard-cell circuits. FlowPlace includes: a) a t...

Can recursive bisection alone produce routable placements?
This work focuses on congestion-driven placement of standard cells into rows in the fixed-die context. We summarize the stateof-the-art after two decades of research in recursive ...

Analytical minimization of half-perimeter wirelength
Global placement of hypergraphs is critical in the top-down placement of large timing-driven designs 10, 16 . Placement quality is evaluated in terms of the half-perimeter wirelen...
