Placement is a critical component of today's physical synthesis flow with tremendous impact on the final performance of VLSI designs. However, it accounts for a significant p...

— Y -interconnects for VLSI chips are based on the use of global and semi-global wiring in only 0◦ , 60◦ , and 120◦ . Though X-interconnects are fast replacing the traditio...
VLSI placement tools usually work in two steps: First, the cells that have to be placed are roughly spread out over the chip area ignoring disjointness (global placement). Then, i...
We present a novel incremental placement methodology called FlowPlace for significantly reducing critical path delays of placed standard-cell circuits. FlowPlace includes: a) a t...
: As cloud services grow to span more and more globally distributed datacenters, there is an increasingly urgent need for automated mechanisms to place application data across thes...
