	SOCcentral: Hard Macro Placement in Complex SoC Design (SOCcentral 17008)
		Relative placement constraints, alignment constraints, grouping constraints, and region constraints could be defined prior to placement and honored during the optimization process.
		Placement and floorplanning tools developed to handle standard cells, alone, cannot produce best area and timing results, due to the implementation challenges presented by hard macros.
		To be effective, floorplanning placement engines must now incorporate cost functions to address the new challenges presented by having 100s or 1000s of hard macros in a design.

	EDAC
		EDA software tools or tool suites which may display simulator output for analysis (as in waveform analyzers) or which may analyze the reliability, electromagnetic interference, metal migration, signal integrity, or thermal characteristics of a design.
		EDA products and services are essential for the design of electronic products that enable many other high-tech sectors of the economy, such as computers, communications, consumer, industrial, military/aerospace, semiconductors, and transportation.
		EDA software tools that provide an environment where issues such as timing, area, power dissipation, and routeability can be analyzed before a detailed physical layout of a design is completed.

	Bartels AutoEngineer User Manual - Autoplacement
		The placement algorithms are guarded by adjustable strategy parameters for net list preference control and for the consideration of part segment matching/fitting.
		On incomplete initial placement it is recommended to change placement parameters (use smaller placement grid, reduce part expansion, use unrestricted part rotation, allow SMD mirroring; see below on how to set placement parameters) and restart the autoplacer (after Undo and/or selecting a different placement start point) to achieve 100% part placement.
		Placement optimization can be interrupted at any time by pressing an arbitrary key on the keyboard.

		Placement resolution is 10 nanometers within a maximum board size of 20m.
		During the placement phase, ARES displays both the ratsnest and force vectors.
		All computation is based on grid-less shape geometry and occurs in the background so that there is interference in manual board placement for computationally intensive layouts.

	Timing Closure at the Crossroads (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One approach traditional EDA companies have taken is to inject floorplanning and/or placement information during the functional-design phase.
		For example, Synopsys' unified synthesis and placement methodology moves placement to the front-end of IC design and provides for fewer iterations and faster timing closure.
		This includes traditional EDA companies that are developing new strategies that "stand on the shoulders" of the tried-and-true approaches.

	EDA start-up seeks to fill IC 'empty space'
		SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Current IC placement techniques leave large amounts of empty space on chips—and an EDA startup is promising to do something useful with it.
		It distributes placement and routing tools from Seiko Instruments' EDA division, which in turn distributes Apex's tools in Japan.
		Empty space emerges not only because chips are pad-limited, but because the top-down partitioners used by current placement algorithms leave large amounts of empty space behind, Ku said.

	EETimes.com - Sapphire presents new IC design approach (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Sapphire holds there is no compelling need to bring placement data into synthesis, that interconnect optimization should occur after synthesis, and that placement and routing do not need to come from the same vendor.
		EDA industry leaders are trapped in a "die-size-centric" way of thinking, said Shashank Goel, Sapphire's president and CEO.
		The result is much faster than quadratic placement, he said, with better results and an ability to handle larger circuits.

	EDA earns high satisfaction rating (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		According to a national survey of students from nine doctoral programs in educational administration, graduates from the UK College of Education's Department of Administration and Supervision (EDA) reported that they finish their degrees quickly and receive top quality mentoring, career guidance, and job placement.
		In fact, the EDA department at UK received higher scores than four universities which are among those the Kentucky Council for Post-Secondary Education targeted as benchmarks for UK - University of Texas at Austin, The Ohio State University, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and University of Wisconsin-Madison.
		In personal accounts, students have commented that the EDA program prepared them well for their career primarily because the department’s faculty had formerly served as school administrators.

		The goal: to revitalize the connection between universities and the EDA industry.
		While OpenAccess promises a standard data model for IC design tools, it also provides a database that can be used by university researchers and students who want to develop new algorithms without writing complete tools.
		If a researcher wants to experiment with timing-driven placement, for example, he or she will need not only a database but a timing engine and a GUI.

		I lead the softblock "placement through routing" effort in which PhysOpt was used to perform the initial placement, placement of ECO cells (both timing and functional), and to incrementally fix setup and hold violations for all 15 softblocks.
		A technique we used to save run time for the 1.4 Mgates module during placement was to turn off the area recovery mode.
		Since a lot of our placement was performed with beta versions and since we froze PhysOpt at revision 1.1d, these may already have been resolved in the newest version of PhysOpt.

	Mentor Graphics Strengthens its SoC Leadership With New TeraPlace Physical Implementation Tool Suite
		Extending traditional placement to include virtual routing, extraction with delay calculation, timing analysis and optimization, the Mentor Graphics® TeraPlace tool suite is comprised of TeraPlace, for innovative timing-driven placement and two plug-in options -- TeraOptimize(TM), for physical optimization and TeraCTS(TM), for Clock Tree Synthesis.
		By extending the traditional physical design link between placement and detailed routing, and providing accurate parasitic information earlier in the process, the tool suite delivers a highly integrated physical implementation solution that allows design teams to overcome the inconsistency of existing place and route solutions to reach timing closure.
		TeraPlace then verifies final placement with a virtual router that replaces inaccurate assumptions and estimations of wire load models with accurate parasitic data.

		For uninitiated, placement new expression takes an additional argument: the memory address on which the object will be constructed.
		The trade off is that the programmer must guarantee that the pre-allocated storage is sufficiently large and that it meets the memory alignment requirements.
		Below is a list of issues to consider when using placement new in C2: 1) If the entity is a non-array object, the placement new-expression returns a reference to any-store object.
