Abstract:RePlAce is a state-of-the-art prototype of a flat, analytic, and nonlinear global cell placement algorithm, which models a placement instance as an electrostatic system with positively charged objects. It can handle large-scale standard-cell and mixed-cell placement, while achieving shorter wirelength and similar or shorter runtimes than other state-of-the-art placers on the ISPD-2005/2006 standard-cell benchmarks; however, the runtime of RePlAce on these benchmarks ranges from 15 minutes to 5+ hours on a 2.6 … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
