Title
Delay Constrained Optimization by Simultaneous Fanout Tree Construction, Buffer Insertion/Sizing and Gate Sizing
Abstract
We present a novel algorithm for delay-constrained optimization of combinational logic, extending the state-of-the-art sizing algorithm [1] based on Lagrangian relaxation. We tightly integrate fanout tree construction, buffer insertion/sizing and gate sizing; thereby achieving more optimization than if, they were performed independently. We consider the network in its entirety, thereby taking full advantage of the slacks available on the non-critical paths. We have implemented our algorithm and experimented with it on ISCAS-89 benchmark circuits; the results demonstrate that it is effective as well as fast.
