The presence of fixed terminals in hypergraph partitioning instances arising in top-down standard-cell placement makes such instances qualitatively different from the free hyperg...

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 ...
In this paper, we present novel algorithms that effectively combine physical layout and early logic synthesis to improve overall design quality. In addition, we employ partitionin...
Global placement of hypergraphs is critical in the top-down placement of large timing-driven designs 10, 16 . Placement quality is evaluated in terms of the half-perimeter wirelen...
—In this paper, we present a new block budgeting algorithm which speeds up timing closure in timing driven hierarchical flows. After a brief description of the addressed flow, ...
