“…It is worth noting that in this work, our placement engine is wirelength-driven without explicit routability optimization. Therefore, only comparing the HPWL metric with Eh?Placer [4] and NTUplace4dr [3], which involve dedicated optimization effects on detailed-routability and design rule violation, etc., is not a very fair evaluation. We choose to show the top5 overflow, the average global routing overflow in the top 5% congested routing grids, reported by NCTUgr [32] global router as a representative metric for routability evaluation.…”
