In this paper, we propose a new linear programming based timing driven placement framework for high performance designs. Our LP framework is mainly net-based, but it takes advanta...
Advances in fabrication technology have resulted in a continual shrinkage of device dimensions. This has resulted in smaller device delays, greater resistance along interconnect w...
The floating-point unit of a S/390 CMOS microprocessor is described. It contains a 116 bit fraction dataflow for addition and subtraction and a 64 bit-wide multiplier. Besides the...
In this paper, we develop a mixed-size placement tool, Dragon2005, to solve large scale placement problems effectively. A top-down hierarchical approach based on min-cut partition...
Traditionally, clock network layout is performed after cell placement. Such methodology is facing a serious problem in nanometer IC designs where people tend to use huge clock buff...
