   SESSION 13
  Timing-Oriented Placement
  Chair: Ralph Otten - Eindhoven Univ. of Tech., Eindhoven, NLD
  Organizers: C Y Roger Chen, Carl Sechen

  Since delay is an increasingly important issue in chip design, emphasis is shifting from area and wire length towards timing. Delay budgeting and retiming have found their place in design trajectory, but integration with placement is very much a topic of today. Also the possibility of logic replication in order to meet timing constraints will be considered in this session. Once the timing requirements can be formulated as constraints on nets, powerful tool combinations can provide high quality placements.
