Macro cells are used more and more in current designs as they provide the benefit of reusability directly resulting in the decrease in design time and cost. However, there lies a gap in the EDA industry for macro-cell placement tools. This chapter looks at the implementation of a force-directed macro-cell placement tool that is developed to target the gap in industry.
This paper looks at developing a module placement algorithm by combining two well known force-directed graph drawing algorithms. It is in answer to the current gap of module placement tools within the electronic design automation community that this research is carried out. Whilst previous work has provided an introduction to the basis of the module placement flow followed by the authors, in this...
