Abstract

This paper presents a new performance-driven MCM router, named MRC, with special consideration of crosstalk reduction. Router MRC completes an initial routing with an adequate performance trade-off including wire length, vias, number of layers, timing and crosstalk. Then a crosstalk reduction algorithm is used to make the routing solution crosstalk-free without big influence on other routing performances. Thus, efficiently handling timing and crosstalk problems becomes the unique feature of MRC. Router MRC has been implemented and tested on MCM benchmarks and the experimental results are very promising.
