 Invoke the stove and fire the job with the lighter. Take a pan or bowl with the right die size estimate and initiate floorplan.  The key is the tiragamatha or tadka like library and tech files. Pour some ghee, add all the sanaga, minapa, avalu, mentulu in it. Allow them to fry, read libs. these r all like the tech files, layer files, track files, parasitic tech files.  Add ground nuts, cashews, karepaku, ginger like the blockages, bounds, placement constraints. Add water and let it boil…link, elaborate. Add the salt and turmeric. These are like clock constraints and upf. Don’t add it more as it will be too much for the tool to optimize. Add just enough for best optimisation. It is very important to read the correct rtl. Suji/Upma ravva and idly ravva looks the same. If u use wrong one, lec will fail. Read rtl, while stirring, let it compile.  Timing is important. Stir it just fast enough so the ravva doesn’t accumulate and gets mixed properly. If u add more ravva, i...

  once upon a time, there used to be a small village by name visiopur in a schematic district of frontend desh. People lived there happily with good amount of logic, small gates, well connected and clock reset coming on time. The village had a cpu house owned by Thakur RTL Kapoor who used to take care of all with his fabric. This Thakur worked in the security and once caught and threw a bug which a great robber Gabbar Illogic Singh created. Since then Gabbar was very angry on the Thakur. Once when the Thakur went abroad for a tech conference, the Gabbar came to the visio and disconnected all nets and pins in the cpu house. Even small logic gates were not spared. every single pin was floating. When Thakur came and say this, he went to kill the illogic but without proper power grid. Gabbar caught the Thakur and mercilessly cut his clock and reset arms. For many years the visio went totally illogical. Meanwhile Thakur rtl kappor found two coding schemes in the open source.

 Arjuna, the PD Engineer looks at all the logic that synthesized and waiting outside the die to enter the battlefield of the floorplan. He takes a look at the army and all those IOs, Hard macros, memories, module wise standard cells lined up. Raring to get into the floorplan and get placed and routed. They all are same logic cells…same technology, process…nand, and, memory bits, flops, good old analog cells, young latches…all related to each other…raring to optimize out…agree some are having more delay and behave in adharma but every cell has its constraints and not every path meets the timing…I am ok if we don’t meet the timing and drcs…let there be bugs…but I don’t want to optimize my own logic…I cant just place them and route their nets…it will only lead to lot of congestion and leakage…I cant fire my clock and trigger the flops and the logic between them…I spent so much time, effort and faced jitters, uncertainties, variations and all to acquire high speed uclks, dclks only to ...

 There has been eternal war between the Friday’s and the Physical design issues. Always won and continuing to win by the PD issues. The issues start with symptoms on Monday and slowly builds like dhoni’s innings and culminates in the final Friday overs. Many tried to conquer it with schemes like TGIF, Friday by 5 etc but like in that Ramayana serials asthras and counter asthras the PD issues always found their way to show up on Fridays and more on Friday evenings. PD folks gave up and started to ignore the fiery fridays like filler cells…
