Abstract(in English) Recently, a minimal fab has been proposed for the purpose of small-quantity production of LSI at low cost and in a short period of time, and a minimal EDA using the open-source tool Qflow has been developed. Since the time required is too long for practical, research on speeding up by parallel processing was conducted. However, since the placement tool Graywolf in Qflow does not assume parallel processing of routing, there was a case where the efficiency of parallel processing was low because there was no suitable division. Therefore, we propose a placement method in which the circuit and area are divided by the minimum cut to the number of parallel processes, and then the placement optimization is performed twice by SA in each area in order to shorten the wire length. Before the second placement optimization, pseudo terminals are placed by the global routing.
