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...

Global placement of hypergraphs is critical in the top-down placement of large timing-driven designs 10, 16 . Placement quality is evaluated in terms of the half-perimeter wirelen...
We present BonnPlace, a new VLSI placement algorithm that combines the advantages of analytical and partitioning-based placers. Based on (non-disjoint) placements minimizing the t...
We study a type of linear placement problem arising in detailed placement optimization of a given cell row in the presence of white-space (extra sites). In this single-row placeme...

Traditionally, analytic placement used linear or quadratic wirelength objective functions. Minimizing either formulation attracts cells sharing common signals (nets) together. The...
