Circuit Floorplanning and Placement by Look-Ahead Enabled Recursive Partitioning.

摘要

Placement or floorplanning of an integrated circuit is performed by constructing legal layouts at every level of a hierarchy of subsets of modules representing the integrated circuit, by scalably incorporating legalization into each level of the hierarchy, so that satisfiability of constraints is explicitly enforced at every level, in order to eliminate backtracking and post-hoc legalization.
