Performance driven standard-cell placement using the geneticalgorithm

Current placement systems attempt to optimize several objectives, namely area, connection length, and timing performance. In this paper we present a timing-driven placer for standard-cell IC design. The placement algorithm follows the genetic paradigm. Besides optimizing for area and wire length, th...

description Current placement systems attempt to optimize several objectives, namely area, connection length, and timing performance. In this paper we present a timing-driven placer for standard-cell IC design. The placement algorithm follows the genetic paradigm. Besides optimizing for area and wire length, the placer minimizes the propagation delays on a predicted set of critical paths. The paths are enumerated using a new approach based on the notion of -criticality. Experiments with test circuits demonstrate delay performance improvement by up to 20%
