ICCAD-2012 CAD contest in design hierarchy aware routability-driven placement and benchmark suite

摘要: The impact of considering design hierarchy during physical synthesis remains a fairly under-researched area. This is especially true for large-scale circuit placement. in large part due to the non-availability realistic public designs with information. Additionally, modern are complex numerous placement blockages, non-uniform wiring stacks, partial and/or complete routing etc. significantly complicates both, and steps synthesis. aim ICCAD-2012 contest evaluate on wire length routability addressed by way following: (a) release industrial-strength place-and-route benchmarks that contain information, (b) present an accurate congestion analysis framework compare various algorithms. We hope set challenging containing along standardized evaluation framework, will further advance research aware routability-driven
