We present a hierarchicaltechniquefor floorplanning and pin assignment of the general cell layouts. Given a set of cells with their shape lists, a layout aspect ratio, relative po...

— Energy efficiency has become one of the most important issues to be addressed in today’s System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designs. One way to lower the power consumption is to reduce ...
This paper describes a technique for re-ordering of scan cells to minimize power dissipation that is also capable of reducing the area overhead of the circuit compared to a random...
In this paper we study the technology mapping problem for FPGA architectures to minimize chip area, or the total number of lookup tables (LUTs) of the mapped design, under the chi...
Classical floorplanning minimizes a linear combination of area and wirelength. When Simulated Annealing is used, e.g., with the Sequence Pair representation, the typical choice o...
