Challenges of cell selection algorithms in industrial high performance microprocessor designs
State-of-the-art cell selection algorithm applied in an industrial design flow. The challenges found, some solutions and preliminary results. Experiments using high-performance microprocessor blocks with modern cell library. Discuss challenges and requirements yet to be solved to further stimulate research. Results show how usual formulations fail when directly applied to industrial flows. Also show that current industrial algorithms do not provide near-optimal solutions.
