A new partitioningapproach for very largecircuits is described. We demonstrate that applying a recently developed analytical placement algorithm, that prots from a linear objecti...
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 this paper, we develop a mixed-size placement tool, Dragon2005, to solve large scale placement problems effectively. A top-down hierarchical approach based on min-cut partition...
Simulated annealing based standard cell placement for VLSI designs has long been acknowledged as a compute-intensive process. All previous work in parallel simulated annealing bas...
Many current integrated circuits designs, such as those released for the ISPD2005[14] placement contest, are extremely large and can contain a great deal of white space. These new...
