—In this paper, we present a new block budgeting algorithm which speeds up timing closure in timing driven hierarchical flows. After a brief description of the addressed flow, ...
— A method for timing driven placement is presented. The core of the approach is optimal timing-driven relaxed placement based on a linear programming (LP) formulation. The formu...

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...
SRAM cell design is driven by the need to satisfy static noise margin, write margin and read current margin (RCM) over all cells in the array in an energy-efficient manner. These ...
