Abstract
In physical design, specialized algorithms are used for many different nets. Specialized algorithms are required due to strict specifications for routing such nets. It has been noted that it is better to develop specialized routers for these nets rather than over-complicate the general router. In the worst case, these special nets can be hand-routed. In particular, there are two types of nets in VLSI systems that need special attention in routing: Clock nets and Power/Ground nets. In many microprocessors, both of these nets are manually routed and optimized.
