ISPD 2014 - The International Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD)

The International Symposium on Physical Design provides a premier forum to exchange ideas and promote research on critical areas related to the physical design of VLSI systems. All aspects of physical design, including its interactions with architecture, behavioral- and logic-level synthesis, and back-end performance analysis and verification are within the scope of the symposium. Target domains include semi-custom and full-custom IC's, regular fabrics, FPGA's, and systems-on-chip/systems-in-package. Following its twenty-one predecessors, the 2014 symposium will highlight key new directions and leading-edge theoretical and experimental contributions to the field. The ACM Press will publish accepted papers in the Symposium proceedings. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
。Floorplanning and interconnect planning
。Interactions with behavior-level synthesis flows
。Partitioning, placement and routing
。Interactions with logic-level (re-)synthesis flows
。Physical design for manufacturability and yield
。Analysis and management of power dissipation
。Synthesis optimizations within physical design
。Management of design data and constraints
。Estimation and modeling
。New physical design methodologies
。Timing and crosstalk issues in physical design
。New paradigms in physical design
。Special structures for clocking and power networks
。Circuit performance measurements in a PD context
。Physical design for emerging process technologies
。Multithreaded/distributed algorithms for physical design
。 Makeover of traditional PD problem formulation for
。Critiques and in-depth analysis of previously published technology nodes and new applications PD algorithms with new experimental results for better comparison
