Analysis of post-placement length estimation

In this paper, we address the problem of individual wire-length prediction and demonstrate its usefulness in timing-driven placement. Many researchers have observed that different placement algorithms produce different individual wire lengths. We ...

This paper presents a new congestion minimization technique for standard cell global placement. The most distinct feature of this approach is that it does not follow the traditional "estimate-then-eliminate" strategy. Instead, it avoids the excessive ...

Pin assignment is the process of placing pins on the boundary of a chip or macro during chip design. Problem is that cell placement and pin assignment form a chicken and egg problem: cell placement needs pin positions, while pin positions should be ...
