This paper studies the optimality, scalability and stability of stateof-the-art partitioning and placement algorithms. We present algorithms to construct two classes of benchmarks...
– Floorplanning large designs with many hard macros and IP blocks of various sizes is becoming an increasingly important and challenging problem. This paper presents a global flo...
We present a novel detailed placement technique that accounts for systematic through-pitch variations to reduce leakage. Leakage depends nearly exponentially on linewidth (gate le...
ABSTRACT - This paper presents a new design flow, FPDSiMPA, and a set of techniques for synthesizing high-performance sub-half micron logic circuits. FPD-SiMPA consists of logic p...
Traditional timing-driven placement considers only combinational delays and does not take into account the potential of subsequent sequential optimization steps. As a result, the ...
