On wirelength estimations for row-based placement
Wirelength estimation in VLSI layout is fundamental to any pre-detailed routing estimate of timing or routability. In this paper, we develop e cient wirelength estimation techniqu...

A study of routability estimation and clustering in placement
This paper studies the effects of clustering as a pre-processing step and routability estimation in the placement flow. The study shows that when clustering and routability estima...

Intrinsic shortest path length: a new, accurate a priori wirelength estimator
A priori wirelength estimation is concerned with predicting various wirelength characteristics before placement. In this work we propose a novel, accurate estimator of net lengths...
