摘要: TimberWolf is an integrated set of placement and routing optimization programs. The general combinatorial technique known as simulated annealing used by each program. Programs for standard cell, macro/custom gate-array placement, well cell global routing, have been developed. Experimental results on industrial circuits show that area savings over existing layout programs ranging from 15 to 62% are possible.
