Summary :

A timing-driven placement algorithm based on path topology analysis is presented. The optimization for path delay is transformed into cell location optimization. The algorithm pays much attention on path topologies and applies an effective force directed method to find cell target locations. Total wire length optimization is combined with the timing-driven placement algorithm. MCNC (Microelectronics Centre of North-Carolina) standard cell benchmarks are experimented and results show that our timing-driven placement algorithm can make the longest path delay improve up to 13% compared with wirelength driven placement.
