VLSI fabrication technology has advanced rapidly, bringing with it a strong demand for faster and better design automation tools. Accurate reporting of results for placement appro...
In this paper we report experiences on a parallel implementation of a standard cell placement algorithm on a cluster of myrinet connected PCs. The proposed algorithm is based on a...

We present a loosely coupled parallel algorithm for the placement of standard cell integrated circuits. Our algorithm is a derivative of simulated annealing. The implementation of...
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...
Existing 3D placement techniques are mainly used for standardcell circuits, while mixed-size placement is needed to support highlevel functional units and intellectual property (I...
