Researchers have developed EGGPlacer, a novel framework for chip placement that utilizes diffusion models guided by energy feedback. This approach integrates analytical placement and thermal models to optimize macro placement, addressing limitations of existing methods that often overlook standard cell connectivity and thermal effects. Experiments on public benchmarks indicate that EGGPlacer achieves competitive results in terms of macro-only half-perimeter wirelength (mHPWL) and outperforms other methods in end-to-end evaluations for routed wirelength and peak temperature.
