Chip Planning,ssigning shapes and locations to circuit modules during chip planning produces ., and enables early estimates of interconnect length, circuit delay and chip performance. Such early analysis can identify modules that need improvement. Chip planning consists of three major stages (1) ., (2) ., and (3) ..

In this paper we show that the column-oriented approach to sparse Cholesky for distributed-memory machines is not scalable. By considering message volume, node contention, and bisection width, one may
