In this paper, we present a new multi-packing tree (MP-tree) representation for macro placement to handle mixed-size designs. Based on binary trees, the MP-tree is very efficient,...
– Floorplanning large designs with many hard macros and IP blocks of various sizes is becoming an increasingly important and challenging problem. This paper presents a global flo...
In this paper, we propose two methods used in 3D IC placement that effectively exploit the die-to-die thermal coupling in the stack. First, TSVs are spread on each die to reduce t...
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 ...
We present new timing and congestion driven FPGA placement algorithms with minimal runtime overhead. By predicting the post-routing critical edges and estimating congestion accura...
