DRAGON2000: Standard-Cell Placement Tool for Large Industry Circuits
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...

A sensitivity based placer for standard cells
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...

Placement Driven Retiming with a Coupled Edge Timing Model
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...
