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...
As technology scales and frequency increases, a new design style is emerging, referred to as hybrid designs, which contain a mixture of random logic and datapath standard cell com...

In this paper, we develop a new standard cell placement tool, Dragon2000, to solve large scale placement problem effectively. A top-down hierarchical approach is used in Dragon200...
In modern VLSI designs, the increasingly severe power problem requests to minimize clock routing wirelength so that both power consumption and power supply noise can be alleviated...
