This work studies the optimality and stability of timing-driven placement algorithms. The contributions of this work include two parts: 1) We develop an algorithm for generating s...
Physical synthesis tools are responsible for achieving timing closure. Starting with 130nm designs, multiple cycles are required to cross the chip, making latch placement critical...

This paper studies the optimality, scalability and stability of stateof-the-art partitioning and placement algorithms. We present algorithms to construct two classes of benchmarks...
As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay has become the bottleneck of the circuit timing. As one of the most powerful techniques for interconnect optimiz...
This paper presents a new timing driven force directed placement algorithm that meets physical net length constraints as well as constraints on specific pin sets. It is the first ...
