A Theoretical Study on Wire Length Estimation Algorithms for Placement with Opaque Blocks
How to estimate the shortest routing length when certain blocks are considered as routing obstacles is becoming an essential problem for block placement because HPWL is no longer v...

Structured Placement with Topological Regularity Evaluation
Abstract-- This paper introduces a new concept of floorplanning and block placement, called structured placement. Regularity is a key criterion of structured placement so that plac...

Fast Evaluation of Sequence Pair in Block Placement by Longest Common Subsequence Computation
In [1], Murata et al introduced an elegant representation of block placement called sequence pair. All block placement algorithms which are based on sequence pairs use simulated a...

Fishbone: a block-level placement and routing scheme
A block-level placement and routing scheme called Fishbone is presented. The routing uses a two-layer spine topology. The pin locations are configurable and restricted to certain ...
