Modern circuits become harder to route with the ever decreasing design features. Previous routability-driven placement techniques are usually tightly coupled with the underlying p...

We present a novel detailed placement technique that accounts for systematic through-pitch variations to reduce leakage. Leakage depends nearly exponentially on linewidth (gate le...

Physical synthesis optimizations and engineering change orders typically change the locations of cells, resize cells or add more cells to the design after global placement. Unfort...

We streamline and extend APlace, the general analytic placement engine based on ideas of Naylor et al. [7] and described in [3, 4, 5]. Previous work explored the adaptability of A...

In this paper, we present a hierarchical ratio partitioning based placement algorithm for large-scale mixed-size designs. The placement algorithm consists of three steps: global p...

— The rapid increase in IC design complexity and wide-spread use of intellectual-property (IP) blocks have made the so-called mixed-size placement a very important topic in recen...
