In [1], Murata et al introduced an elegant representation of block placement called sequence pair. All block placement algorithms which are based on sequence pairs use simulated a...
The wire length estimation is the bottleneck of packing based block placers. To cope with this problem, we present a fast wire length estimation method in this paper. The key idea...
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, the problem of bus-driven floorplanning is addressed. Given a set of blocks and the bus specification (the width of each bus and the blocks that the bus need to g...
