Accurate estimation of global buffer delay within a floorplan
Closed formed expressions for buffered interconnect delay approximation have been around for some time. However, previous approaches assume that buffers are free to be placed anyw...

Simultaneous buffer and interlayer via planning for 3D floorplanning
As technology advances, the interconnect delay among modules plays dominant role in chip performance. Buffer insertion, as a traditional approach to reduce wire delay in 2D ICs, i...

Fast substrate noise-aware floorplanning with preference directed graph for mixed-signal SOCs
— In this paper, we introduce a novel substrate noise estimation technique during early floorplanning, based on the concept of Block Preference Directed Graph (BPDG) and the cla...

Power Supply Noise Aware Floorplanning and Decoupling Capacitance Placement
Power supply noise is a strong function of the switching activities of the circuit modules. Peak power supply noise can be significantly reduced by judiciously arranging the modu...
