Abstract(in English) In the recent LSI design, the required performance for chip becomes high. Especially, the optimization of the wire length has such tendency significantly. Thus, the analytical placement which optimizes its objective function directly is widely used for the placement. To use the analytical placement, its objective function needs to be differentiable. To approximate the max function, Log-Sum-Exponential (LSE) function is proposed for the differentiability. While the LSE has high convergence and its result achieves high performance, it has the numerically instability problem. In this paper, we propose Stable-LSE which resolves the instability of LSE without loss of its efficiency. We formalize the total wire-length minimization and the maximum wire-length minimization with the Stable-LSE based analytical placement. We also implement the total wire-length minimization with Stable-LSE. We confirm the efficiency of Stable-LSE empirically.
