VLSI KoreaWorkload and traffic model
Build a traffic matrix across the documented CPU, graphics, AI and I/O engines. Model concurrent bursts, locality and worst-case response time at shared memory before choosing arbitration or buffering.

Contracts before RTL
Choose a representative producer/consumer path and specify acceptance, ordering, backpressure, outstanding capacity and reset recovery. Turn these contracts into assertions and test scenarios before optimizing the datapath.
A feasible physical plan
Obtain macro abstracts, pin maps, timing libraries and activity-based power estimates. Explore macro proximity, routing channels and power-grid reachability together. An annotated die photograph can suggest study questions, but cannot supply a netlist, PDK or signoff constraints.
