Deep submicron effects drive the complication in designing chips, as well as in package designs and communications between package and board. As a result, the iterative interface d...
We describe a new algorithm for floorplan evaluation using timing-driven buffered routing according to a prescribed buffer site map. Specifically, we describe a provably good mult...
