A semantic substrate is a spatial template for a network, where nodes are grouped into regions and laid out within each region according to one or more node attributes. This paper...
In this paper, we propose a placement method for islandstyle FPGAs, based on fast yet very good initial placement followed by refinement using ultra-low temperature Simulated Anne...
In this paper, we present a performance-driven softmacro clustering and placement method which preserves HDL design hierarchy to guide the soft-macro placement process. We also pr...
This paper proposes a placement method for a mixed set of hard, soft, and pre-placed modules, based on a placement topology representation called sequence-pair. Under one sequence...
In this paper, we propose a placement method for islandstyle FPGAs, based on recursive bi-partitioning followed by application of space-filling curves. Experimental results of ou...
