Net weighting to reduce repeater counts during placement
We demonstrate how to use placement to ameliorate the predicted repeater explosion problem caused by poor interconnect scaling. We achieve repeater count reduction by dynamically ...

A high-quality mixed-size analytical placer considering preplaced blocks and density constraints
In addition to wirelength, modern placers need to consider various constraints such as preplaced blocks and density. We propose a high-quality analytical placement algorithm consi...
