Modern Physical Design: AlgorithmTechnologyMethodology Stan Chow Ammocore Andrew B. Kahng UCSD Majid Sarrafzadeh UCLA Introduction This tutorial will cover the latest word in physical chip implementation methodology and physical design (PD) algorithm technology. The target audience consists of system and circuit designers who would benefit from understanding tool capabilities in this arena, CAD engineers (both RD and support), design project managers, academic researchers. Familiarity with basic PD methodology is assumed. Trade-Off: Depth vs. Breadth Broad spectrum of possible material Only ~6-7 hours for presentation Not all possible topics covered in slides, not all slides covered in talks ask questions if you’d like to hear about something in particular, esp. related to methodology or particular PR techniques All tutorial materials will be available in softcopy at /ICCAD2000TUTORIAL Overview of the Tutorial PART I: Technology and Methodology Context Setting (9:00 - 10:00) PART II: Fundamental Physical Design Formulation and Algorithms (10:00 - 12:00) Coffee Break (10:30 - 10:45) Lunch (12:00 - 1:00) PART III: Interaction with Upstream Floorplanning and Logic Synthesis (1:00 - 2:00) PART IV: Interaction with extraction, analysis, and performance validation (2:00 - 3:30) Coffee Break (3:30 - 3:45) PART V: Linkage to Custom Layout (3:45 - 4:45) Conclusion (4:45 - 5:00) Modern Physical Design: AlgorithmTechnologyMethodology(Part I) Stan Chow Ammocore Andrew B.
