Abstract
A neural network (NN) performs macro placement on a chip. A mask is updated to mark invalid regions occupied by already-placed macros on a chip canvas. A policy network of the NN generates summary statistics of a two-dimensional (2D) continuous probability distribution over a continuous action space for a given state of the chip canvas. The NN selects an action based on the continuous probability distribution. The selected action corresponds to a coordinate in an unmasked region. The NN generates a trajectory including (state, action) pairs. The final state in the trajectory corresponds to a completed placement of macros.
