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. In this paper, we propose analytical and numerical extensions to this model to overcome some of these constraints. It turns out that, with our extensions, Donath's model correlates very well with experimental data. This makes it particularly well suited for, among others, the parametric exploration of placement options.
