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 ...
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 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 ...

Sequential place and route tools for FPGAs are inherently weak at addressing both wirability and timing optimizations. This is primarily due to the difficulty in predicting these ...
This paper describes a new force directed global placement algorithm that exploits and extends techniques from two leading placers, Force-directed [12] [26] and Mongrel [22]. It c...
