Interconnect optimization for VLSI circuits has received wide attention. To model routing surfaces, multiple circuit layers are freabstracted as a single rectilinear plane, ignori...
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...
— 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 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...
Obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (OARSMT) construction is becoming one of the most sought after problems in modern design flow. In this paper we present FOARS, ...
