Cache memories currently treat all blocks as if they were equally important, but this assumption of equally importance is not always valid. For instance, not all blocks deserve to...
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...
Abstract— Regular structures are present in many types of circuits. If this structure can be identified and utilized, performance can be improved dramatically. In this paper, we...
This paper describes a simple and effective quadratic placement algorithm called RQL. We show that a good quadratic placement, followed by local wirelength-driven spreading can pr...
