Without the MCNC and ISPD98 benchmarks, it would arguably not have been possible for the academic community to make consistent advances in physical design over the last decade. While still being used extensively in placement and floorplanning research, those benchmarks can no longer be considered representative of today's (and tomorrow's) physical design challenges. In order to drive physical design research over the next few years, a new benchmark suit is being released in conjunction with the ISPD2005 placement contest. These benchmarks are directly derived from industrial ASIC designs, with circuit sizes ranging from 210 thousand to 2.1 million placeable objects. Unlike the ISPD98 benchmarks, the physical structure of these designs is completely preserved, giving realistic challenging designs for today's placement tools. Hopefully, these benchmarks will help accelerate new physical design research in the placement, floor-planning, and routing.
