The ISPD-2011 routability-driven placement contest and benchmark suite
TL;DR: The ISPD-2011 routability-driven placement contest and the associated benchmark suite are described, and a new benchmark suite that is being released in conjunction with the contest is described, which can be used to perform both placement and global routing.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The DAC 2012 routability-driven placement contest and benchmark suite
TL;DR: The aim of the DAC 2012 routability-driven placement contest is to release challenging benchmark designs that are derived from modern industrial ASICs, and contain information to perform both placement and routing, and present a new congestion metric, as well as an accurate congestion analysis framework to evaluate and compare the routability of various placement algorithms.

TL;DR: It is empirically demonstrates that incorporating the proposed solutions within a global routing based congestion analyzer yields a more accurate view of design routability.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The ISPD global routing benchmark suite
TL;DR: This paper describes the ISPD global routing benchmark suite and related contests, which will present realistic and challenging physical design problems of modern complex IC designs.
