In this paper, we present DeFer -- a fast, high-quality and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a non-slicing floorplan by compacting a slicing fl...
Abstract-- In nanometer-scale VLSI technologies, several interconnect issues like routing congestion and interconnect delay have become the main concerns in placement. However, all...
We have developed a generic integer linear programming(ILP)based engineering change(EC) methodology. The EC methodology has three components: enabling, fast, and preserving. Enabl...

Field programmable dual-Vdd interconnects are effective to reduce FPGA power. Assuming uniform length interconnects, existing work has developed time slack budgeting to minimize p...
We empirically assess the implications of fixed terminals for hypergraph partitioning heuristics. Our experimental testbed incorporates a leading-edge multilevel hypergraph partit...
