We present a physical design methodology that was applied to the design of Fujitsu 1.3 GHz SPARC 64 microprocessor. A tool-set called GigaGate was developed based on this methodology. The goal of GigaGate is to support the design team to complete the high-performance microprocessor design on schedule.
