Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a design with critical paths that require low delay. Propose a placement strategy that balances wirelength, congestion, and timing. Explain your rationale.
💡 Hint: Think about how certain placements can affect delay.
Question 2
You have an ASIC design where the initial placement has led to significant routing congestion. Suggest a re-optimization approach and identify potential risks involved.
💡 Hint: Consider how altering placements can have ripple effects.
