On rent's rule for rectangular regions
2001
Proceedings of the 2001 international workshop on System-level interconnect prediction - SLIP '01
A priori wirelength estimates are based on a terminal-gate relationship known as Rent's rule. Conventional models apply Rent's rule in 2D on square or diamond-shaped regions. ...
However, more advanced applications of wirelength estimation require the use of Rent's rule on layout regions with different shapes. ...
The deviation for high values of G is called region II in Rent's rule [8] . ...

Getting more out of Donath's hierarchical model for interconnect prediction
2002
Proceedings of the 2002 international workshop on System-level interconnect prediction - SLIP '02
Though it has become one of the most popular techniques for a priori wirelength estimation, Donath's method is heavily constrained by the underlying circuit and architecture models. ...
This makes it particularly well suited for, among others, the parametric exploration of placement options. ...
Specifically, deviations have been identified for large module sizes (i.e., region II of Rent's rule, [7] ), as well as for very small modules (region III of Rent's rule [8] ). ...

On metrics for comparing routability estimation methods for FPGAs
2002
Proceedings - Design Automation Conference
Other known routability estimation methods include RISA [5], Lou's [7] method and Rent's rule based methods [1] [12] [9] . ...
One of the most important issues for planning interconnection is the ability to accurately and efficiently predict the routability of a given design on a given FPGA architecture. ...
There is no work that uses Rent's rule to estimate routing demand on local regions for FPGAs. For our comparison purpose, we use the peak routing demand estimation method alone from [12] . ...

On partitioning vs. placement rent properties
2001
Proceedings of the 2001 international workshop on System-level interconnect prediction - SLIP '01
One of the main applications of Rent's rule is the estimation of wire length distributions. ...
Rent's rule can be derived by direct partitioning of the circuit netlist, by indirect partitioning of the placed layout, or by averaging the number of terminals for various equally large regions of the ...
Small deviations to Rent's rule may occur for high and low values of the module size B; these are known as Rent region II and III [7, 10] . ...

Placement rent exponent calculation methods, temporal behaviour and FPGA architecture evaluation
2003
Proceedings of the 2003 international workshop on System-level interconnect prediction - SLIP '03
Rent's Rule is an empirical metric of connectivity and congestion in a circuit that has applications in the prediction of interconnect usage. ...
We will compare the Rent exponent observed for timing-driven vs. purely congestion-driven placement algorithms, and for different types of benchmark circuits. ...
Feuer [12] argued that for a "good" placement an arbitrary region of the placement grid with a center and constant radius could be used to describe regions for the calculation of Rent's Rule. ...
