Texas A&M University and Duke University have collaborated on a new technical paper titled “PPAC Driven Multi-die and Multi-technology Floorplanning.” The paper explores the challenges of floorplanning across multiple dies with different technologies in heterogeneous integration.
The researchers developed a systematic study of multi-die and multi-technology floorplanning that considers not only area and wirelength but also performance, power, and cost, emphasizing the importance of technology selection. They introduced simulated annealing and reinforcement learning techniques to address these challenges and compared the results with a naive baseline approach.
The experimental results showed that the proposed techniques significantly outperformed the baseline approach, highlighting the effectiveness of considering various factors in floorplanning across multiple dies. This work is a significant step forward in addressing the complexities of integrating different technologies in heterogeneous systems.
The technical paper, titled “PPAC Driven Multi-die and Multi-technology Floorplanning,” can be accessed on arXiv preprint under the reference arXiv:2502.10932 and was published in February 2025. This research contributes valuable insights to the field of heterogeneous integration and offers innovative solutions for multi-die and multi-technology floorplanning.
