In addition to wirelength, modern placers need to consider various constraints such as preplaced blocks and density. We propose a high-quality analytical placement algorithm consi...
APlace is a high quality, scalable analytical placer. This paper describes our recent efforts to improve APlace for speed and scalability. We explore various wirelength and densi...
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...
Automatic circuit placement has received renewed interest recently given the rapid increase of circuit complexity, increase of interconnect delay, and potential sub-optimality of ...
Automated cell placement is a critical problem in VLSI physical design. New analytical placement methods that simultaneously spread cells and optimize wirelength have recently rec...
