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...
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...
The goal of this paper is to perform a timing optimization of a circuit described by a network of cells on a target structure whose connection delays have discrete values following...

As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay has become the bottleneck of the circuit timing. As one of the most powerful techniques for interconnect optimiz...
This work explores the effect of adding a timing driven functional decomposition step to the traditional field programmable gate array (FPGA) CAD flow. Once placement has comple...
