In recent years, the X-Architecture is introduced to obtain better performance for integrated circuit physical design. This paper reformulates the global routing problem in X-Archi...
Because of the increasing dominance of interconnect issues in advanced IC technology, placement has become a critical step in the IC design flow. To get accurate interconnect inf...
Recently, a new exemplar-based method for image completion, texture synthesis and image inpainting was proposed which uses a discrete global optimization strategy based on Markov ...
We present global routing optimization methods which are not based on rip-up and re-route framework. In particular, the routing optimization is based on trunk decomposition [13] o...
