Abstract :
Benchmark files are widely used to evaluate and compare new algorithms and tools. In this paper, a fairly simple although reliable random floorplanning benchmark generator, BGen, based on Rent´s rule and a novel net-degree distribution model, is presented. Though direct and indirect validation, it is shown that BGen generates realistic distribution of module sizes and netlist information.
