Methods for Accurate Wirelength Estimation of Functional Circuitry in ULSI Chips
Overview An accounting for circuitry type in ULSI chips within the context of the historically-equivalent interpretation of Rent's rule is needed for an assessment of existing on-chip wirelength distribution models. Although prior assessments of these models have separately considered the effects of these two factors (namely, circuitry type and Rent's rule), there does not exist an assessment for today's ULSI circuits that takes into account the role of circuitry type within the context of this interpretation of Rent's memos. Providing an assessment that properly accounts for both factors is needed and is the goal of this paper.
