The advent of strong multi-level partitioners has made topdown min-cut placers a favored choice for modern placer implementations. We examine terminal propagation, an important st...
In this paper, we propose the first metal-density driven placement algorithm to reduce CMP variation and achieve higher routability. Based on an analytical placement framework, we...

Power consumption in field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) has become an important issue as the FPGA market has grown to include mobile platforms. In this work we present a power...
As storage systems scale to thousands of disks, data distribution and load balancing become increasingly important. We present an algorithm for allocating data objects to disks as...
In this paper we present a new method of integrating the placement and routing stages in the physical design of channel-based architectures, and present the first implementation o...
