General Information

The International Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD) provides a premier forum to exchange ideas and promote innovative research in all aspects of physical design ranging from traditional topics for ASIC and FPGA designs to emerging technologies that impact physical design of integrated circuits (ICs). In 2025, ISPD was held at Holiday Inn Austin Midtown in Austin, Texas. The 34th symposium has highlighted key new directions and leading-edge theoretical and experimental contributions to the field.
