Abstract-- In nanometer-scale VLSI technologies, several interconnect issues like routing congestion and interconnect delay have become the main concerns in placement. However, all...
A block-level placement and routing scheme called Fishbone is presented. The routing uses a two-layer spine topology. The pin locations are configurable and restricted to certain ...
In this paper, we present a hierarchical ratio partitioning based placement algorithm for large-scale mixed-size designs. The placement algorithm consists of three steps: global p...
In this paper we propose a partitioning-based placement algorithm for FPGAs. The method incorporates simple, but effective heuristics that target delay minimization. The placement...
As technology scales and frequency increases, a new design style is emerging, referred to as hybrid designs, which contain a mixture of random logic and datapath standard cell com...
