      Multi-Armed Bandits for Autonomous Timing-driven Design Optimization 

      Stefanidis, Apostolos; Mangiras, Dimitrios; Nicopoulos, Chrysostomos; Dimitrakopoulos, Giorgos (2019)
      Timing closure is a complex process that involves many iterative optimization steps applied in various phases of the physical design flow. Cell sizing and transistor threshold selection, as well as datapath and clock ...

      Timing-Driven Placement Optimization Facilitated by Timing-Compatibility Flip-Flop Clustering 

      Mangiras, Dimitrios; Stefanidis, Apostolos; Seitanidis, Ioannis; Nicopoulos, Chrysostomos; Dimitrakopoulos, Giorgos (2019)
      Timing-driven placement optimization is applied incrementally in various parts of the flow, together with other timing optimization techniques, to achieve timing closure. In this work, we present a generalized approach for ...
