PNR flow methodology for congestion optimization using different macro placement strategies of DDR memories

Abstract

The large-scale growth of the electronics industry in the past decade has led to small-sized gadgets flooding the market. Initially, only Personal Computers (PC) employed the use of multi-core processing, however, now even small hand-held gadgets have come to possess similar computational power as the PC and laptop. With mobile manufacturers opting for multicore processing and graphics -intensive application usage, memory storage and access has become a crucial aspect to achieve high performance.
