Nostradamus: a floorplanner of uncertain designs

摘要: Floorplanning is an early phase in chip planning. It provides information on approximate area, delay, power, and other performance measures. Careful floorplanning is, thus, of extreme importance. In many applications, while a good floorplan needed, the about all modules not available, or even worse, part provided inaccurate. Examples such applications are designing huge system where needed design process, but have been designed. Another example field reconfigurable computing it known what will be as program being executed. with uncertainty problem obtaining when module dimensions complete. this paper, formulated. Correlation between input characteristics output studied. Also, established that traditional floorplanners incapable efficiently handling uncertainty. An effective method for dealing uncertain data proposed. Experiments show that, example, up to 30% area estimate less than 7% error can obtained.
