# Macro Placement on adaptec3 (HPWL and Congestion) Source: [Macro Placement on adaptec3 (HPWL and Congestion)]() Collection index: [llms.txt]() Data updated: 2026-05-19T07:29:00.407Z Evaluation of Macro Placement algorithms on the adaptec3 dataset, focusing on quality metrics such as Half-Perimeter Wire Length (HPWL) and Congestion. A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. | Scope | Recorded value | | --- | --- | | Task | Macro Placement | | Dataset (including any stated split) | adaptec3 | | Metric | HPWL (x10^5) | | Unit | SCALAR | | Direction | Lower is better | | Results loaded | 13 of 13 | | Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark | Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol. ## Metrics - [HPWL (x10^5)](): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR. - [Congestion](): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR. - [Std HPWL (x10^5)](): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR. - [Best HPWL (x10^5)](): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR. ## Recorded results | Method | HPWL (x10^5) | Result date | Report paper | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | VeoPlace + ChiPFormer | 24.1 | Not recorded | 69cb558b0636e5bf4afca4ef | | ChiPFormer | 25.64 | Not recorded | 69cb558b0636e5bf4afca4ef | | ChiPFormer | 26.31 | Not recorded | 69cb558b0636e5bf4afca4ef | | WireMask-EA | 56.56 | Not recorded | 68fa71091e209131cea4ece8 | | WireMask-BO | 58.67 | Not recorded | 68fa71091e209131cea4ece8 | | WireMask-RS | 60.91 | Not recorded | 68fa71091e209131cea4ece8 | | MaskPlace | 79.32 | Not recorded | 68fa71091e209131cea4ece8 | | SP-SA | 122.3 | Not recorded | 68fa71091e209131cea4ece8 | | DREAMPlace | 153.3 | Not recorded | 6a0bee5edbc836b87d82c1ae | | MacroDiff+ | 163.9 | Not recorded | 6a0bee5edbc836b87d82c1ae | | ChipDiffusion | 165.2 | Not recorded | 6a0bee5edbc836b87d82c1ae | | WireMask-BBO | 180.8 | Not recorded | 6a0bee5edbc836b87d82c1ae | | MaskPlace | 185.3 | Not recorded | 6a0bee5edbc836b87d82c1ae | ### VeoPlace + ChiPFormer HPWL (x10^5): 24.1.
