Total power optimization combining placement, sizing and multi-Vt through slack distribution management
2008
2008 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference
Power dissipation is quickly becoming one of the most important limiters in nanometer IC design for leakage increases exponentially as the technology scaling down. However, power and timing are often conflicting objectives during optimization. In this paper, we propose a novel total power optimization flow under performance constraint. Instead of using placement, gate sizing, and multiple-Vt assignment techniques independently, we combine them together through the concept of slack distribution
