In this paper we study the correlation between wirelength and routability for standard-cell placement problem, under the modern place-and-route environment. We present a placement tool named Dragon (version 2.1), and show its ability to produce good quality placement for designs with high row utilization. Compared to an industrial placer and an academic state-of-the-art placer, Dragon can produce placement with better routability and shorter total wirelength. We describe many novel algorithmic details and implementation details of this placement tool. Ex-perimental results show that minimizing wirelength improves routability and layout quality.
