Title
Tight coupling of timing-driven placement and retiming
Abstract
Retiming is a widely investigated technique for performance optimization. In general, it performs extensive modifications on a circuit netlist, leaving it unclear, whether the achieved performance improvement will still be valid after placement has been performed. This paper presents an approach for integrating retiming into a timing-driven placement environment. The experimental results show the benefit of the proposed approach on circuit performance in comparison with design flows using retiming only as a pre- or post- placement optimization method.
