An Enhanced Multilevel Algorithm for Circuit Placement
This paper presents several important enhancements to the recently published multilevel placement package mPL [12]. The improvements include (i) unconstrained quadratic relaxation...

mPL6: enhanced multilevel mixed-size placement
The multilevel placement package mPL6 combines improved implementations of the global placer mPL5 (ISPD05) and the XDP legalizer and detailed placer (ASPDAC06). It consistently pr...

Placement feedback: a concept and method for better min-cut placements
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...

MAPLE: multilevel adaptive placement for mixed-size designs
We propose a new multilevel framework for large-scale placement called MAPLE that respects utilization constraints, handles movable macros and guides the transition between global...
