Wires have become a major source of bottleneck in current VLSI designs, and wire length prediction is therefore essential to overcome these bottlenecks. Wire length prediction is broadly classified into two types: macroscopic prediction, which is the prediction of wire length distribution, and microscopic prediction, which is the prediction of individual wire lengths. The objective of this thesis is to develop a clear understanding of limitations to both macroscopic and microscopic a priori, post-placement, pre-routing wire length predictions, and thereby develop better wire length prediction models. Investigations carried out to understand the limitations to macroscopic prediction reveal that, in a given design (i) the variability of t...
