THURSDAY, June 10, 2004, 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM | Room: 6C
TOPIC AREA:  PHYSICAL CIRCUIT DESIGN

   SESSION 38
  Floorplanning
  Chair: Malgorzata Marek-Sadowska - Univ. of California, Santa Barbara, CA
  Organizers: Chung-Kuan Cheng, Frank M. Johannes

  The session advocates floorplanning for architecture-level and layout optimization. In the first paper, a microarchitectural floorplanner is presented that considers both the impact of wire delay and architectural behavior. The second paper increases instructions per cycle using a trajectory piece-wise linear model. A representation to tackle the floorplanning of triangular objects that achieves efficient area utilization is introduced in the third paper.
