Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

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

Challenge 2 Hard

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.

💡 Hint: Integrate both analytical and practical aspects, focusing on systematic redesign.
