General Information
The International Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD) provides a premier forum to exchange ideas and promote research on critical areas related to the physical design of VLSI systems. All aspects of physical design, including its interactions with architecture, behavioral- and logic-level synthesis, and back-end performance analysis and verification are within the scope of the symposium. Target domains include semi-custom and full-custom IC, regular fabrics, FPGA, and systems-on-chip/systems-in-package. Following its eighteen predecessors, the 2010 symposium highlights key new directions and leading-edge theoretical and experimental contributions to the field (see the technical program).

Contest
Over the past five years, ISPD has organized
contests
in placement, global routing, and clock network synthesis, that have
not only attracted enthusiastic participation from all around the globe,
but have also led to significant seminal research advances in these fields.
These contests have also resulted in the release of new state-of-the-art
benchmark suites that have already found widespread acceptance and
usage in the physical design research community. ISPD 2010 also
continues this proud tradition of organizing a contest open to research
groups from universities around the world. Details can
be found at the contest site. The winners of the contest are:
The 2010 ISPD was co-located with the ACM International Workshop on Timing Issues in the Specification and Synthesis of Digital Systems (TAU Workshop). The workshop was held on March 18 - March 19, 2010.
Held in Marriott Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, California, the symposium is sponsored by ACM/SIGDA with technical co-sponsorship from IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. The symposium also receives additional support from Cadence, IBM Research, Intel Corporation, Mentor Graphics, SpringSoft, Sun Microsystems, and Synopsys.
