Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a VLSI design with three critical paths identified as violating timing constraints, propose a multi-step optimization approach addressing both post-placement and post-routing angles.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Prioritize paths with the highest delays first, and adapt both placements and routing for comprehensive improvement.

Question 2

Your VLSI design simulation shows multiple timing violations due to overly congested paths. Describe your strategy for optimizing these routes and the role of global routing in this process.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Integrate both analytical and practical aspects, focusing on systematic redesign.
