Abstract

In this paper, we present ARCHITECT, the floorplanner for high performance Mixed Block and Cell designs. A novel and significant feature of ARCHITECT is that it exploits the flexibility of the standard cell regions by generating arbitrary rectilinear shapes for the flexible blocks. We have implemented ARCHITECT on a Sun SPARC station 1+ using C and Xview. We have tested the floorplanner on various randomly generated examples. Experimental results indicate that ARCHITECT generates floorplans with minimal white space within the user specified bounds.<>

混合宏块和标准单元设计的平面规划

在本文中，我们介绍了ARCHITECT，用于高性能混合块和单元设计的地板规划器。ARCHITECT的一个新颖而重要的特点是，它通过为柔性块生成任意直线形状来利用标准单元区域的灵活性。我们使用C语言和Xview在Sun SPARC站点1+上实现了ARCHITECT。我们在各种随机生成的例子上测试了floorplanner。实验结果表明，ARCHITECT生成的平面图在用户指定的范围内具有最小的空白空间。
