FusionCell: Cross-Attentive Fusion of Layout Geometry and Netlist Topology for Standard-Cell Performance Prediction
The article introduces FusionCell, a new dual-modality predictor for standard-cell performance prediction. It integrates layout geometry and netlist topology to enhance accuracy and speed in performance characterization. Experimental results show significant improvements in prediction error and characterization time compared to traditional methods.
- ▪FusionCell treats routed layout geometry and netlist topology as inputs and fuses them in a unified model.
- ▪The model uses a DeiT encoder for layout processing and a graph transformer for netlist modeling.
- ▪FusionCell achieved an average MAPE of 0.92 percent and accelerated the characterization process significantly.
