TOPIC AREA: PHYSICAL CIRCUIT DESIGN (tools) | ||
| SESSION 48 | |||
| Electrical Optimization for Physical Synthesis | |||
| Chair: Gi-Joon Nam - IBM, Austin, TX | |||
| Organizers: Patrick Groeneveld, Phiroze Parakh | |||
| This session deals with novel power and delay optimization techniques in placement. The first paper presents a method that that reduces power by clustering registers. The following paper performs placement using a new differential timing analysis model. The final two papers both attack the optimization through novel analytical methods.
