High quality placement results are always produced at the cost of significant runtimes. In this paper, we study the trade-off between the overall quality and the runtime for stand...
We present a new approach to the placement problem. The proposed approach consists of analyzing the input circuit and deciding on a two-dimensional global grid for that particular...
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...
Traditionally, research in global placement has focused on relatively few simple metrics, such as pure wirelength or routability estimates. However, in the real world today, desig...
— Circuit placement has a large impact on all aspects of performance; speed, power consumption, reliability, and cost are all affected by the physical locations of interconnected...
