A Simple Yet Effective Technique for Global Wiring

We present a global wiring algorithm used in a top-down physical design environment, i.e. macros are laid out only after global wiring is done, and wires are allowed to pass through macros (wiring-through model). The floorplan of the chip is in the form ...

In this paper we consider the problem of optimal wiring of VLSI circuits. The topological placement of the circuit elements (macros) on the chip is assumed to have a special hierarchical structure, i.e., to be a slicing floorplan, represented by a ...
