面向标准单元布局的自适应加权平均线长模型
A Self-adaptive Weighted-average Wirelength Model for Global Placement
摘要
Abstract
The existing EDA tools address the global placement problem of very large scale integration(VLSI)physical design by minimizing the sum of half-perimeter wirelength(HPWL)under density constraints.However,the non-differentiability of HPWL renders gradient-based advanced optimization methods inapplicable directly to global placement.Consequently,the weighted-average wirelength(WAWL)model is often employed to approximate HPWL,but it struggles to achieve a balance between smoothness and accuracy.This paper introduces an improved self-adaptive weighted-average wirelength(SaWAWL)model.It dynamically adjusts the weighted factors γ for each wire's actual length,ensuring both smoothness and reduced error in fitting HPWL.The proposed model enhances the quality of global placement.A global placer based on this model is implemented and validated on the DAC 2012 open benchmark.The results indicate a 3.69%reduction in the total sum of half-perimeter wirelength.关键词
