This paper describes a new force directed global placement algorithm that exploits and extends techniques from two leading placers, Force-directed [12] [26] and Mongrel [22]. It combines the strengths of force directed global placement with Mongrel's ...

Routability is a challenging cost metric for modern large-scale mixed-size placement. Most existing routability-driven placement algorithms apply whitespace allocation to relieve the routing congestion. Nevertheless, we observe that whitespace ...

Many existing retargetable compilers for ASIPs and domain-specific processors generate low quality code since the compiler is not able to fully utilize the intricacies of ISA of these processors. Hence, there is a need to further optimize the code ...
