Traditional timing-driven placement considers only combinational delays and does not take into account the potential of subsequent sequential optimization steps. As a result, the ...
We study alternatives to FM-based partitioning in the context of end-case processing for top-down standard-cell placement. The primary motivation is that small partitioning instan...

Decoupling capacitance (decap) is an efficient way to reduce transient noise in on-chip power supply networks. However, excessive decap may cause more leakage power, chip resource...
Due to the large difference between seek time and transfer time in current disk technology, it is advantageous to perform large I/O using a single sequential access rather than mu...
