Using controlled experiments in layout

Using controlled experiments in layout Since mathematically optimal layout algorithms seem unattainable, layout needs to become a more experimental science. This paper advocates the use of controlled experiments in layout. The physical design workshop bench mark layout environment, open problems solvable by experiment, and the relation of layout experiments to scientific methodology are discussed. The paper concludes by showing that layout synthesis of primitive cells by computer program is impossible since it is no easier than the general artificial intelligence problem. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ACM SIGDA Newsletter Association for Computing Machinery

Abstract

Since mathematically optimal layout algorithms seem unattainable, layout needs to become a more experimental science. This paper advocates the use of controlled experiments in layout. The physical design workshop bench mark layout environment, open problems solvable by experiment, and the relation of layout experiments to scientific methodology are discussed. The paper concludes by showing that layout synthesis of primitive cells by computer program is impossible since it is no easier than the general artificial intelligence problem.
