Advancing Placement [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2021 International Symposium on Physical Design, 2021
Placement is central to IC physical design: it determines spatial embedding, and hence parasitics and performance. From coarse-to fine-grain, placement is conjointly optimized with logic, performance, clock and power distribution, routability and manufacturability. This paper gives some personal thoughts on futures for placement research in IC physical
