Title
A novel ultra-fast heuristic for VLSI CAD steiner trees
Abstract
In all stages of VLSI chip design, routing estimation is required to account for the effect of interconnects. We propose a fast Steiner tree construction algorithm, which is 3-180 times faster for 10-300 point Steiner trees, and within 2.5% of the length of the Batched-1-Steiner tree. The proposed method can be used as a fast net length estimation tool in VLSI CAD applications, e.g. in the inner cycle of a floorplanning/placement engine.
