As technology advances, more and more issues need to be considered in the placement stage, e.g., wirelength, congestion, timing, coupling. It is very hard to consider all of them ...
Typical placement objectives involve reducing net-cut cost or minimizing wirelength. Congestion minimization is least understood, however, it models routability accurately. In thi...
—This paper presents an efficient technique for the estimation of the routed wirelength during global placement using the wire density of the net. The proposed method identifie...
We present new timing and congestion driven FPGA placement algorithms with minimal runtime overhead. By predicting the post-routing critical edges and estimating congestion accura...
In this paper, we present novel algorithms that effectively combine physical layout and early logic synthesis to improve overall design quality. In addition, we employ partitionin...
