In a typical design
ow, the design may be altered slightly several times after the initial design cycle according to minor changes in the design specication either as a result o...
The performance of timing-driven placement methods depends strongly on the choice of the net model. In this paper a more precise net model is presented that does not increase nume...
The cost functions used to evaluate logic synthesis transformations for FPGAs are far removed from the final speed and routability determined after placement, routing and timing a...
— Fast and accurate routing congestion estimation is essential for optimizations such as floorplanning, placement, buffering, and physical synthesis that need to avoid routing c...

The main goal of this paper is to develop deeper insights into viable placement-level optimization of routing. Two primary contributions are made. First, an experimental framework...
