In this paper, we present a new approach that performs timing driven placement for standard cell circuits in interaction with netlist transformations. As netlist transformations a...

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...
We propose a timing-oriented logic optimization technique called Generalized De Morgan (GDM) transform, that integrates gate resizing, net buffering and De Morgan transformation. ...
Traditionally, research in global placement has focused on relatively few simple metrics, such as pure wirelength or routability estimates. However, in the real world today, desig...
- This paper reports on a highly effective methodology to construct complex high performance microprocessors. Critical aspects of the methodology include an integrated database for...
