Abstract :
Some of the physical design algorithms developed for iPROMIS, an interactive MCM physical design tool under development, are discussed. A performance-driven routing algorithm based on a new second-order delay model for lossy transmission lines and a multilayer assignment algorithm are described. A fast algorithm for computing the step response of interchip interconnections is also presented
