We describe a new algorithm for floorplan evaluation using timing-driven buffered routing according to a prescribed buffer site map. Specifically, we describe a provably good mult...

In this paper, we present an integrated approach to floorplanning and bus planning, i.e., bus-driven floorplanning (BDF). We are given a set of circuit blocks and the bus speci...
— In this paper, we present the first multi-objective microarchitectural floorplanning algorithm for designing highperformance, high-reliability processors in the early design ...

— 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...
With the advent of deep sub-micron (DSM) era, floorplanning has become increasingly important in physical design process. In this paper we clarify a misunderstanding in using Lag...
