This paper presents SafeChoice (SC), a novel clustering algorithm for wirelength-driven placement. Unlike all previous approaches, SC is proposed based on a fundamental theorem, s...
In this paper, we derive the X-half-perimeter wirelength (XHPWL) model for X-architecture placement and explore the effects of three different wire models on X-architecture plac...
As technology advances into the nanometer territory, the interconnect delay has become a first-order effect on chip performance. To handle this effect, the X-architecture has been...
Power dissipation is becoming the most challenging design constraint in nanometer technologies. Among various design implementation schemes, standard cell ASICs offer the best pow...
