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...
Traditional placement algorithms for FPGAs are normally carried out on a fixed clustering solution of a circuit. The impact of clustering on wirelength and delay of the placement s...
In a typical design
ow, the design may be altered slightly several times after the initial design cycle according to minor changes in the design specication either as a result o...
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...
