A new method is proposed to estimate proximity of interconnects in a netlist, which is capable of predicting not only short interconnects but long interconnects accurately. The predicted wirelength is embedded into the partitioning tool of bisection-based global placement, which can guide our placement towards a solution with shorter interconnects. In addition, the timing objective can be handled within the algorithm by minimizing the critical path delay. Experimental results show that, compared to Capol0. 5, mPL6, and NTUplace, HJ-P1 outperforms these placers in terms of wirelength and run time. The improvements in terms of average wirelength over Capo10. 5, mPL6 and NPUplace are 13%, 3%, and 9% with only 19%, 91%, and 99% of their runtime, respectively. By integrating the predicted wirelength-driven clustering into Capo10. 5, the placer is able to reduce average wirelength by 3%. The timing-driven HJ-P1 can reduce the critical path delay by 23%.展开更多

On the basis of Drnde model, the motion of positive and negative ions produced by high-voltage corona is analyzed, and the mechanism of corona noise is discovered. The theoretical prediction model is put forward by using Kirchhoff formula, which is verified by the well agreement between our result and others' , considering the case of three- phase single lines. Moreover, the calculation results show that for both single and bundled lines, the sound pres- sure level of the typical frequency, i.e. twice the power frequency, attenuates slowly and leads to an obviously in- terferential phenomenon near the transmission lines, but the level of the bundled lines is smaller than that of the single ones under the same transmission voltage. Based on the mechanism of corona noise and the prediction model, it is obvious that bundled lines and/or increased line radius can be adopted to reduce corona noise in the practical engineering applications effectively. This model can also provide a theoretical guidance for the high-volt- age AC transmission line design.展开更多
