In this paper, we present a congestion-driven placement flow. First, we consider in the global placement stage the routing demand to re-place cells in order to avoid congested re...

We streamline and extend APlace, the general analytic placement engine based on ideas of Naylor et al. [7] and described in [3, 4, 5]. Previous work explored the adaptability of A...
In this invited note we outline several algorithms and features appearing in Capo 10, free open-source software for congestion-driven standard cell placement, mixed-size placement...

Physical synthesis optimizations and engineering change orders typically change the locations of cells, resize cells or add more cells to the design after global placement. Unfort...

In addition to wirelength, modern placers need to consider various constraints such as preplaced blocks and density. We propose a high-quality analytical placement algorithm consi...
