Physical synthesis is a relatively young field in Electronic Design Automation. Many published optimizations for physical synthesis end up hurting the quality of the final design,...
In many applications such as high-level synthesis (HLS) and logic synthesis and possibly engineering change order (ECO) we would like to get fast and accurate estimations of diffe...
In the context of physical synthesis, large-scale standard-cell placement algorithms must facilitate incremental changes to layout, both local and global. In particular, flexible...
