Physical synthesis methodology for high performance microprocessors
2003
Integrated logic synthesis and physical design (physical synthesis) continues to play a very important role in high performance microprocessor design methodologies. In this paper, we present the integrated physical synthesis timing closure methodology used in the current generation microprocessors. Physical synthesis techniques were aggressively used as part of logic and placement optimizations for performance, power and area. The design turn around times were significantly reduced and timing convergence was consistently acheived.
