In this paper, we propose a new linear programming based timing driven placement framework for high performance designs. Our LP framework is mainly net-based, but it takes advanta...
This paper presents a performance-driven I/O pin routing algorithm with special consideration of wire uniformity. First, a topological routing based on min-cost max-flow algorith...
—In large networks, a data source may not reach the intended sink in a single hop, thereby requiring the traffic to be routed via multiple hops. An optimized choice of such rout...

Retiming is a widely investigated technique for performance optimization. It performs powerful modifications on a circuit netlist. However, often it is not clear, whether the pred...
Dramatic progress has been made in algorithms for placement and routing over the last 5 years, with improvements in both speed and quality. Combining placement and routing into a ...
