—High-frequency circuits are notoriously difficult to lay out because of the tight coupling between device-level placement and wiring. Given that successful electrical performan...
In this paper, we present DeFer -- a fast, high-quality and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a non-slicing floorplan by compacting a slicing fl...
With aggressive reductions in feature sizes and the integration of multiple functionalities on the same die, bottlenecks due to I/O pin limitations have become a severe issue in to...
