In this paper, we present an experimental integrated platform for the research, development and evaluation of new VLSI back-end algorithms and design flows. Interconnect scaling ...
The goal of this paper is to perform a timing optimization of a circuit described by a network of cells on a target structure whose connection delays have discrete values following...

As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay has become the bottleneck of the circuit timing. As one of the most powerful techniques for interconnect optimiz...
As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
This paper describes a new force directed global placement algorithm that exploits and extends techniques from two leading placers, Force-directed [12] [26] and Mongrel [22]. It c...
