Congestion Estimation with Buffer Planning in Floorplan Design
In this paper, we study and implement a routabilitydriven floorplanner with buffer block planning. It evaluates the routability of a floorplan by computing the probability that ...

Accurate estimation of global buffer delay within a floorplan
Closed formed expressions for buffered interconnect delay approximation have been around for some time. However, previous approaches assume that buffers are free to be placed anyw...

An integrated floorplanning with an efficient buffer planning algorithm
Previous works on buffer planning are mainly based on fixed die placement. It is necessary to reduce the complexity of computing the feasible buffer insertion sites to integrate t...

Buffer block planning for interconnect-driven floorplanning
This paper studies buffer block planning for interconnect-driven floorplanning in deep submicron designs. We first introduce the concept of feasible region (FR) for buffer inserti...
