Interconnect delay has become a critical factor in determining the performance of integrated circuits. Routing and buffering are powerful approaches to improve circuit speed and correct timing violations after global placement. This paper presents a dynamic- programming based algorithm for performing net topology construction and buffer insertion and sizing simultaneously under the given buffer-placement blockages. The differences from some previous works are that (1) the buffer locations are not pre-determined, (2) the multi-pin nets are easily handled, and (3) a line-search routing algorithm is implemented to speed up the process. Heuristics are used to reduce the problem complexity, which include limiting number of intermediate solutions...
