Exploration of Area and Performance Optimized Datapath Design Using Realistic Cost Metrics

We present anovel technique for datapath allocation, which incorporates interconnection area and delay estimates based on dynamic oorplanning. In this approach, datapath area is minimized by minimizing the number of wires, routing tracks, and multiplexers, while performance is optimized by minimizing wire length. The simultaneous optimization of these physical cost metrics allows the system to explore realistic design solutions
