This chapter presents a reflection on a VLSI design flow better suited to integrate logic
synthesis and physical design. Historically, VLSI design flows were a sequence of relatively …

This paper discusses directions for a VLSI design flow based on a novel paradigm of local
logic computation and global signal distribution. In the last years there has been an …

This paper presents an improved benchmark suite to jointly consider logic synthesis and
physical design. Usually, benchmark circuits were provided by the physical design and the …

Physical synthesis, the integration of logic synthesis with physical design information, was
born in the mid to late 1990s, which means it is about to enter its teenage years. Today …

The unprecedented achievements of electronic systems are due to the combined progress
of semiconductor technologies and design automation of integrated circuits. This work …

Virtually all current integrated circuits and systems would not exist without the use of logic
synthesis and physical design tools. These design technologies were developed in the last …

VLSI technology scaling has caused interconnect delay to increasingly dominate the overall
chip performance. A design that satisfies timing constraints after logic synthesis will not …

We present new algorithms and provide an overall framework for the interaction of the
classically separate steps of logic synthesis and physical layout in the design of VLSI …
