Abstract :
An algorithm for performance-driven routing is presented. It is based on a new second-order propagation delay model for RLC interconnection trees, which is more suitable than the Elmore time-constant model. Experimental results show that by using the new delay model instead of the first-order model, the performance-driven routing algorithm can generate routing with significantly smaller signal delays.
