This article presents an algorithm for the automatic detection of circular shapes from complicated and noisy images. The algorithm is based on a hybrid technique composed of simul...
The advances in the programmable hardware has lead to new architectures where the hardware can be dynamically adapted to the application to gain better performance. There are stil...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
In [1], Murata et al introduced an elegant representation of block placement called sequence pair. All block placement algorithms which are based on sequence pairs use simulated a...
In this paper, we present DeFer--a fast, high-quality, scalable, and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a nonslicing floorplan by compacting a sli...
