— The rapid increase in IC design complexity and wide-spread use of intellectual-property (IP) blocks have made the so-called mixed-size placement a very important topic in recen...
Many current designs contain a large number of standard cells intermixed with larger macro blocks. The range of size in these “mixed block” designs complicates the placement p...
