Low-power driven standard-cell placement based on a multilevel force-directed algorithm

This proposed algorithm includes coarsening, placement, and cell exchange phases. The objective is to generate a placement with low switching power. The positions of standard cells may be exchanged to balance power distribution. This program has been integrated into a commercial design flow. Experim...

Description
Summary:This proposed algorithm includes coarsening, placement, and cell exchange phases. The objective is to generate a placement with low switching power. The positions of standard cells may be exchanged to balance power distribution. This program has been integrated into a commercial design flow. Experimental results are shown.
