To implement high-performance global interconnect without impact-ing the performance of existing blocks, the use of buffer blocks is in-creasingly popular in structured-custom and block-based ASIC/SOC methodologies. Recent works by Cong et al. [6] and Tang and Wong [25] give algorithms to solve the buffer block planning problem. In this paper we address the problem of how to perform buffering of global nets given an existing buffer block plan. Assuming as in [6, 25] that global nets have been already decomposed into two-pin connections, we give a provably good algorithm based on a recent approach of Garg and Könemann [8] and Fleischer [7]. Our method routes connections using available buffer blocks, such that required upper and lower bound...
