Optimization method of integrated circuit design for reduction of global clock load and balancing clock skew
TL;DR: In this paper, a design methodology and algorithms for the computer aided design of integrated circuits having clock distribution networks is described in terms of reducing and balancing the load inside each clock sector, although the techniques may also be applied to balancing load between clock sectors.
Patent
Graphical method and product to assign physical attributes to entities in a high level descriptive language used for VLSI chip design
TL;DR: A layout for an integrated circuit is designed by assigning physical design attributes including locations to a selected subset of placeable objects in the circuit netlist, prior to any physical synthesis as discussed by the authors.
