We present a new timing driven method for global placement. Our method is based on the observation that similar net length reductions in the different nets that make up a path may...
Double-via placement is important for increasing chip manufacturing yield. Commercial tools and recent work have done a great job for it. However, they are found with a limited ca...
In modern VLSI designs, the increasingly severe power problem requests to minimize clock routing wirelength so that both power consumption and power supply noise can be alleviated...

The standard cell placement problem has been extensively studied in the past twenty years. Many approaches were proposed and proven e ective in practice. However, successful place...
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...
