Abstract :
A global-routing-driven floorplanning technique that is based on a top-down approach is presented. Rectangular cells such as in macrocell design are considered. The topics discussed include: (1) a model for the prediction of shape functions which enables consideration of a more general class of floorplan representations, (2) an improved two-dimensional partitioning procedure, and (3) a dynamic updating scheme that considers interconnect area around each cell during the floorplan assembly
