Eliminate all cell-to-cell overlaps. + 2. Minimize total routed wirelength (HPWL across all nets). + +ALGORITHM OVERVIEW +------------------ +The solver mirrors the analytical-placement flow popularised by DREAMPlace +(Lin et al., DAC 2019 / TCAD 2021): + + Global placement ──► WL refinement ──► Legalization ──► Local swap + +Each stage is described below. + +───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── +STAGE 1 — GRADIENT-BASED GLOBAL PLACEMENT +───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── + • Modern nets have thousands of cells; SA scales poorly and force-directed + methods converge to local minima with poor WL. + • A differentiable objective lets us leverage optimised GPU/BLAS kernels + (PyTorch autograd) and well-studied first-order optimisers (SGD + momentum). + +The joint loss is: + + L = λ_wl · L_WL + λ_overlap(t) · L_density + +where both terms are smooth everywhere, so gradients are meaningful at every +iteration — not just when cells are already close. + +THREE-PHASE LAMBDA SCHEDULE + Phase 1 (0–50% of epochs): + λ_overlap ramps from 5% → 100% of its target value. + Cells are still bunched at initialisation; a gentle ramp avoids explosive + gradients while the density penalty pushes them apart. + + Phase 2 (50–92%): + λ_overlap is held at its full target value; WL and density compete at equal + footing. Cells settle into clustered-but-spread positions. + + Phase 3 (92–100%): + λ_overlap drops to ~5% of target. With cells already well-spread the density + penalty has little work to do, so we let the WL gradient dominate and pull + connected cells together for a cleaner final topology. + +GAMMA ANNEALING (WA wirelength smoothness): + gamma anneals 1.0 → 0.01 over all epochs. Large gamma early on means the WA + loss is smooth and has long-range gradients; small gamma later makes it + a tight approximation of true HPWL. + +OPTIMIZER CHOICE — Nesterov SGD + cosine LR annealing: + • Nesterov momentum dampens oscillations around dense clusters and provides + better convergence than vanilla SGD or Adam in this setting (Adam's adaptive + scaling can suppress the density gradient when it is much smaller than the WL + gradient, causing cells to re-overlap late in training). + • Cosine annealing decays the learning rate smoothly, avoiding the abrupt steps + of step-decay schedules that can destabilise the placement. + +MULTI-START RESTARTS (small designs only, N ≤ 300): + Global placement is non-convex; a single run can converge to a poor basin. + For small designs (fast to optimise) we run 5 restarts with different random + initialisations and keep whichever legal result achieves the lowest normalised + WL. For large designs the cost is prohibitive so we use a single run. + +───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── +STAGE 1a — WIRELENGTH MODEL: WA (Weighted-Average) HPWL +───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── +True HPWL = max(x) − min(x) + max(y) − min(y) over pins in a net. +This is non-differentiable at ties (where two pins share the bounding edge). + +The WA (Weighted-Average) model from DREAMPlace replaces max/min with +soft-max/soft-min via log-sum-exp: + + WA_pos_x = (Σ x·exp(x/γ)) / (Σ exp(x/γ)) ≈ max(x) as γ→0 + WA_neg_x = (Σ x·exp(-x/γ)) / (Σ exp(-x/γ)) ≈ min(x) as γ→0 + WA_x = WA_pos_x − WA_neg_x + +Using torch.softmax (numerically stable) this is simply: + + WA_x = (x ⊙ softmax(x/γ)).sum() − (x ⊙ softmax(−x/γ)).sum() + + • Squared-distance over-penalises distant pins, causing nets to converge to + their centroid rather than to a compact bounding box. + • WA exactly recovers HPWL in the limit γ→0 and gives smooth gradients for + all γ > 0, making it the industry-standard differentiable WL proxy. + +───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── +STAGE 1b — OVERLAP MODEL: ePlace / DREAMPlace BIN-DENSITY PENALTY +───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── +Naïve pairwise overlap detection is O(N²) in both memory and compute — a +50 k-cell design would need a 2.5 billion-entry matrix. + +The ePlace / DREAMPlace approach (Cheng et al., TCAD 2019) partitions the +canvas into a G×G grid of "bins" and measures the total cell area that falls +inside each bin: + + density[m, n] = Σ_i px[i, m] · py[i, n] + +where px[i, m] / py[i, n] is the fractional overlap of cell i with bin column m +/ row n (a clipped triangle/rectangle kernel). Bins whose density exceeds the +uniform-spread target are penalised quadratically: + + L_density = Σ_{m,n} relu(density[m,n] − target)² / G² + + • Memory: O(N·G + G²) via BLAS sgemm — no [N×N] or [N×G×G] tensor ever exists. + • Long-range gradients: even before cells physically touch, an over-dense bin + generates a non-zero gradient that pushes cells toward emptier regions. + Pairwise ReLU methods have zero gradient until cells actually overlap, giving + the optimiser no signal to pre-empt collisions. + • Physical fidelity: we use the exact rectangular-overlap fraction (clipped to + [0,1]) rather than a Gaussian bell, so the density sum exactly conserves cell + area and the target density is analytically correct. + +Canvas slack of 1.35× (35% free space) keeps the target density below 1.0 for +typical macro-dominated designs, giving the WL gradient room to cluster cells +without immediately triggering the density penalty. + +───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── +STAGE 2 — PRE-LEGALIZATION WL REFINEMENT +───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── +After the three-phase global placement, cells are spread but the density +penalty was non-zero throughout, which biases positions away from pure WL +optima. A short WL-only SGD pass (no density term) moves cells closer to +their connected nets. Per-cell gradient normalisation (scale = 0.15 / ||g||) +is used instead of a single global clip so that large macros do not dominate +and suppress the gradient signal for nearby standard cells. + +───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── +STAGE 3 — LEGALIZATION: ABACUS ROW PACKING + MACRO SPREADING +───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── +Global placement produces "float" positions that may still have tiny residual +overlaps. Legalization snaps cells to legal positions while minimising +displacement from the optimised locations (so WL is preserved). + + The Abacus algorithm (Spindler et al., DATE 2008) packs cells within each + row by iteratively merging overlapping clusters and repositioning each + cluster to minimise the sum of squared displacements to cells' optimal + x-positions. This is optimal for 1-D non-overlap and produces far less + WL degradation than simpler "push-right" sweeps, which blindly shift all + cells to the right of the first collision point. + + Standard cells are assigned to rows by rounding their y-coordinate to the + nearest row pitch (height = 1.0), then Abacus runs per row. + + Macros are large and cannot be row-snapped. Placed largest-first (so small + macros fit in gaps left by large ones), each macro searches in 8 radial + directions for the nearest open position rather than always pushing right. + This preserves the relative x–y topology from global placement. + +Three x-then-y sweep passes after row packing resolve any residual +macro–standard-cell boundary collisions. + +───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── +STAGE 4 — LOCAL SWAP OPTIMIZATION +───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── +Legalization can perturb cells enough to un-do some WL gains. A pairwise +cell-swap pass iterates over every cell, finds its k nearest neighbours via +a KD-tree, and accepts any swap that (a) reduces total HPWL and (b) does not +introduce new overlaps (verified by checking the neighbourhood at the two new +positions before committing). This recovers a few percent of WL at negligible +overlap risk. + +REFERENCES +---------- +[DREAMPlace] Lin et al., "DREAMPlace: Deep Learning Toolkit-Enabled GPU + Acceleration for Modern VLSI Placement," DAC 2019 / TCAD 2021. +[ePlace] Lu et al., "ePlace: Electrostatics-Based Placement Using Fast + Fourier Transform and Nesterov's Method," TODAES 2015. +[RePlAce] Cheng et al., "RePlAce: Advancing Solution Quality and + Routability Validation in Global Placement," TCAD 2019. +[Abacus] Spindler et al., "Abacus: Fast Legalization of Standard Cell + Circuits with Minimal Movement," DATE 2008. +[NTUplace3] Chen et al., "NTUplace3: An Analytical Placer for Large-Scale + Mixed-Size Designs," TCAD 2008.
