In the nanometer VLSI technology, the variation effects like manufacturing variation, power supply noise, temperature etc. become very significant. As one of the most vital nets...
We extend the APlace wirelength-driven standard-cell analytic placement framework of [21] to address timing-driven and mixedsize (“boulders and dust”) placement. Compared with...
VLSI placement tools usually work in two steps: First, the cells that have to be placed are roughly spread out over the chip area ignoring disjointness (global placement). Then, i...
Modern processors and SoCs require the adoption of poweroriented design styles, due to the implications that power consumption may have on reliability, cost and manufacturability ...
Automated cell placement is a critical problem in VLSI physical design. New analytical placement methods that simultaneously spread cells and optimize wirelength have recently rec...
