We empirically assess the implications of fixed terminals for hypergraph partitioning heuristics. Our experimental testbed incorporates a leading-edge multilevel hypergraph partit...

We propose a new VLSI layout methodology which addresses the main problems faced in Deep Sub-Micron (DSM) integrated circuit design. Our layout "fabric" scheme eliminate...

This work focuses on congestion-driven placement of standard cells into rows in the fixed-die context. We summarize the stateof-the-art after two decades of research in recursive ...

erse approaches at all levels of abstraction starting from the physical level up to the system level. Experience shows that a highlevel method may have a larger impact since the de...
