The first step in the Physical Design flow is Floorplanning. The floorplanning stage ensures that (1) every chip module is assigned a shape and a location, so as to facilitate gate placement, and (2) every pin that has an external connection is assigned a location, so that internal and ...
As the technology advances in the field of VLSI physical design at rapid pace, there is a demand to incorporate the maximum number of transistors and modules within the relatively minimum area. Generally reduction of silicon chip area is the goal and objective of the Placement in Physical Design...

Floorplanning is a critical step in the physical design of VLSI circuits. The floorplanning optimization problem can be formulated as a global optimization problem minimizing wire length, with the area of each rectangular module fixed while the module's height and width are allowed to vary subject...
“Thermal planning with physical design is critical, since most high-performance CPUs have turbo and power throttle to manage the hard-limit transistor junction temperature for chip reliability. In short, a fixed-state of the worse-case power-watt thermal simulation with floor plans carries less ...
in the following, methods and apparatus of performing floorplanning and routing for function blocks within a die and among multiple die are disclosed, which take into consideration effects in the physical design phase as well as the packaging phase of Integrated Circuit (IC) design and production....
Physical designAs the number of buses increase substantially in multi-core SoC designs, the bus planning problem has become the dominant factor in determining the performance and power consumption of SoC designs. To cope with the bus planning problem, it is desirable to consider this issue in ...
In this paper, the authors study two types of modern floorplanning problems: 1) fixed-outline floorplanning and 2) bus-driven floorplanning (BDF). ... TC Chen,YW Chang - IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems 被引量: 217发表: 2006年 加载更多来源...
Methods for floorplanning a hierarchical physical design to improve placement and routing are provided and described. In one embodiment, a method of floorplanning a hierarchical phy
