In this paper, we develop a new standard cell placement tool, Dragon2000, to solve large scale placement problem effectively. A top-down hierarchical approach is used in Dragon200...
In this paper, we present an algorithm for delay minimization of interconnect trees by simultaneous buffer insertion/sizing and wire sizing. The algorithm integrates the quadratic...
We propose a gate resizing method for delay and power optimization that is based on statistical static timing analysis. Our method focuses on the component of timing uncertainties...
Recently, a deterministic algorithm based on the O-tree representation has been proposed. This method generates excellent layout results on MCNC test cases with O(n3 ) complexity,...
