Most existing buffering algorithms neglect the impact of inductance on circuit performance, which causes large error in circuit analysis and optimization. Even for the approaches...
— This paper presents a robust quadratic placement approach, which offers both high-quality placements and excellent computational efficiency. The additional force which distrib...
Because of the increasing dominance of interconnect issues in advanced IC technology, placement has become a critical step in the IC design flow. To get accurate interconnect inf...
9, IO]. However, unlike the case with static timing, it is not so easy We show how recent advances in the handling of correlated interval representations of range uncertainty can b...
—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, ...
