A linear wirelength objective more e ectively captures timing, congestion, and other global placement considerations than a squared wirelength objective. The GORDIAN-L cell placem...

Recently, several algorithms for interconnect optimization via repeater insertion and wire sizing have appeared based on the Elmore delay model. Using the Devgan noise metric [6] ...
We consider a switch module routing problem for symmetric array FPGAs. The work is motivated by two applications. The rst is that of eciently evaluating switch module designs [8]...
We present a branch-and-bound algorithm for minimizing a convex quadratic objective function over integer variables subject to convex constraints. In a given node of the enumerati...
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 ...
