Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a basic floor plan for a chip with two critical functional blocks that need to communicate frequently. Outline steps you would take to minimize wirelength while optimizing for area.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the relationships between the blocks and their communication needs.

Question 2

Evaluate a chip design that has received comments about poor performance due to timing issues. What changes would you consider in the floor planning phase to address this?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on how arrangement affects signal travel.
