Proceedings of the 1998 international symposium on Physical design, 1998•dl.acm.orgIn this paper, we present a performance-driven soft-macro clustering and placement method
which preserves HDL design hierarchy to guide the soft-macro placement process. We also
present a complete chip design methodology by integrating the proposed method and a set
of commercial EDA tools. Experiments on three industrial designs ranging from 75K to 230K
gates demonstrate that the proposed soft-macro clustering and placement method improves
critical-path delay on an average of 24%.
