This paper examines various activity estimation techniques in order to determine which are most appropriate for use in the context of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Speci...
Modern FPGAs have been designed with advanced integrated circuit techniques that allow high speed and low power performance, joined to reconfiguration capabilities. This makes new...
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...
We present a novel detailed placement technique that accounts for systematic through-pitch variations to reduce leakage. Leakage depends nearly exponentially on linewidth (gate le...
An accurate model for pre-placement wire length estimation can be a useful tool during the physical design of integrated circuits. In this paper, an a priori wire length estimatio...
