Question 1.
What does wirelength minimization aim to achieve?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the connection length.
Question 2.
What is the main goal of congestion management?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the impact of too many wires.
3Question 3.
What is the primary goal of wirelength minimization?
- Increase resistive losses
