In this paper, we present a very fast and accurate rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (RSMT) algorithm called fast lookup table estimation (FLUTE). FLUTE is based on a precomputed lookup table to make RSMT construction very fast and very accurate for low-degreeThe degree of a net is the number of pins in the net. nets. For high-degree nets, a net-breaking technique is proposed to reduce the net size...
Because of the increasing dominance of interconnect issues in advanced IC technology, it is desirable to incorporate global routing into early design stages to get accurate interconnect information. Hence, high-quality and fast global routers are in great demand. In this paper, we propose two major techniques to improve the extremely fast global router, FastRoute (Pan and Chu, 2006) in terms of solution...
This paper presents a very efficient algorithm for performance-driven topology design for interconnects. Given a net, it first generates A-tree topology using table lookup and net-breaking. Then a performance-driven post-processing heuristic not restricting to A-tree topology improves the obtained topology by considering the sink positions, required time and load capacitance to achieve better timing...
In this brief, we present a new interconnect delay model called fitted Elmore delay (FED). FED is generated by approximating HSPICE delay data using a curve fitting technique. The functional form used in curve fitting is derived based on the Elmore delay (ED) model. Thus, our model has all the advantages of the ED model. It has a closed-form expression as simple as the ED model and is extremely efficient...
