Timing-Driven Nonuniform Depopulation-Based Clustering

Table 5

Conversion of parameters for input-limit strategy.

(a) Maximum Utilization Table (MUT) conversion.

The ranking percentage of the seed's criticality	Maximum utilization level (BLE-limit)	Maximum utilization level (input-limit)
95%–100%	8	18
40%–95%	7	16
0%–40%	6	14

(b) Candidate Block Threshold (CBT) conversion.

Current utilization level (BLE-limit)	Current utilization level (input-limit)	CBT
7	16	0.8 or 0.9
6	14	0.2 or 0.4
0–5	0–12	0
