We streamline and extend APlace, the general analytic placement engine based on ideas of Naylor et al. [7] and described in [3, 4, 5]. Previous work explored the adaptability of A...
We demonstrate how to use placement to ameliorate the predicted repeater explosion problem caused by poor interconnect scaling. We achieve repeater count reduction by dynamically ...

Existing 3D placement techniques are mainly used for standardcell circuits, while mixed-size placement is needed to support highlevel functional units and intellectual property (I...
Placement migration is a critical step to address a variety of postplacement design closure issues, such as timing, routing congestion, signal integrity, and heat distribution. To...

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...
