Performance driven optimization of network length in physical placement
Abstract
A novel technique to significantly improve the performance of a design by the movement of sets of gates during or after timing driven placement is proposed. A method to identify optimal set of circuit (gate) movements to enhance timing is presented. Experimental results with a min-cut placement tool indicate that the proposed approach of direct manipulation of circuit locations, significantly improves the timing of large partitions of a chip.
