Three-dimensional integrated circuits are a promising approach to address the integration challenges faced by current Systems on Chips (SoCs). Designing an efficient Network on C...
This paper presents a novel placement algorithm for timing optimization based on a new and powerful concept, which we term differential timing analysis. Recognizing that accurate ...

A novel and very simple correct-by-construction top-down methodology for high-utilization mixed-size placement is presented. The PolarBear algorithm combines recursive cutsize-dri...
One of the more popular placement algorithms for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is called Simulated Annealing (SA). This algorithm tries to create a good quality placement ...
VLSI placement tools usually work in two steps: First, the cells that have to be placed are roughly spread out over the chip area ignoring disjointness (global placement). Then, i...
