DREAMPlace is a GPU-accelerated VLSI placement tool that reformulates placement as a deep-learning-like optimization using PyTorch. It supports global, legalization, and detailed placement with large speedups over CPU-based placers.

Use cases

  • place standard cells in a VLSI design
  • run GPU-accelerated global placement and legalization
  • benchmark placement algorithms on ISPD contest benchmarks
  • accelerate detailed placement of million-cell designs
  • experiment with deep-learning-based physical design

When to choose

  • you need fast placement of large netlists on GPU hardware
  • you want a flexible PyTorch-based research platform for placement algorithms

When to avoid

  • you need a full commercial P&R flow with routing and signoff
  • you have no GPU and very large designs where CPU performance is insufficient
