In nanometer regime, the effects of variations are having an increasing impact on the delay and power characteristics of devices as well as the yield of the circuit. Statistical t...
In this paper, we show that under the constant delay model the placement problem is equivalent to minimizing a weighted sum of wire lengths. The weights can be efficiently compute...

— This paper presents a new hybrid linear equation solver for quadratic placement. The new solver is a combination of stochastic solver and iterative solver: it is proven in this...
This paper presents a novel placement algorithm for timing optimization based on a new and powerful concept, which we term differential timing analysis. Recognizing that accurate ...
