A new frontier for partitioning, placement and routing
The ACM International Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD) in collaboration with Cerebras Systems is proud to organize the 2021 ISPD benchmark contest. The contest will run from January thru March 2021.
We welcome teams to participate in this contest. Register via this form
The 2021 edition of the ISPD benchmark competition features an innovative twist on traditional Physical Design. The task is to map a 3-D Finite Element model on a 2-D grid of processing elements in a supercomputer. The objectives are to maximize performance and accuracy, while minimizing interconnect length. This involves partitioning and placement algorithms.
Participating teams will be supplied benchmark examples and an open source program to evaluate the score of their program. The results will be judged on a set of ‘blind’ benchmarks. As in 2020 [1], substantial prizes will be given to the best teams.
A detailed description of the contest can be found in this file [2].
