Fast and accurate rectilinear steiner minimal tree algorithm for VLSI design
In this paper, we present a very fast and accurate rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (RSMT)1 algorithm called FLUTE. The algorithm is an extension of the wirelength estimation appr...

Obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner tree construction
— In today’s VLSI designs, there can be many blockages in a routing region. The obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimum tree (OARSMT) problem has become an important prob...

A tree-based genetic algorithm for building rectilinear Steiner arborescences
A rectilinear Steiner arborescence (RSA) is a tree, whose nodes include a prescribed set of points, termed the vertices, in the first quadrant of the Cartesian plane, and whose tr...
