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...
The use of CMOS nanometer technologies at 65 nm and below will pose serious challenges on the design of mixed-signal integrated systems in the very near future. Rising design comp...
As technology scales and frequency increases, a new design style is emerging, referred to as hybrid designs, which contain a mixture of random logic and datapath standard cell com...
