Optimal cell flipping in placement and floorplanning
In a placed circuit, there are a lot of movable cells that can be flipped to further reduce the total wirelength, without affecting the original placement solution. We aim at solv...

Fast wire length estimation by net bundling for block placement
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...

Partition-driven standard cell thermal placement
The thermal problem has been emerged as one of the key issues for next-generation IC design. In this paper, we propose a scheme to achieve better thermal distribution for partitio...

Floorplan repair using dynamic whitespace management
We describe an efficient, top-down strategy for overlap removal and floorplan repair which repairs overlaps in floorplans produced by placement algorithms or rough floorplanni...

MP-trees: A Packing-Based Macro Placement Algorithm for Mixed-Size Designs
In this paper, we present a new multi-packing tree (MP-tree) representation for macro placement to handle mixed-size designs. Based on binary trees, the MP-tree is very efficient,...
