A compaction method for full chip VLSI layouts

Description

An algorithm independent layout compaction method for full chip layouts is proposed. The partitioning compaction method cuts up a large layout, compacts each block independently and then merges them to give the final compacted layout. A 16-bit CPU core (28.8K transistors) layout was compacted on a standard workstation using this method. Both the computer memory usage and processing time were reduced. Parallel processing is possible to further speed up the computation.
