This paper describes a simple and effective quadratic placement algorithm called RQL. We show that a good quadratic placement, followed by local wirelength-driven spreading can pr...

APlace is a high quality, scalable analytical placer. This paper describes our recent efforts to improve APlace for speed and scalability. We explore various wirelength and densi...
Automatic circuit placement has received renewed interest recently given the rapid increase of circuit complexity, increase of interconnect delay, and potential sub-optimality of ...
Thermal problems and limitations on interlayer via densities are important design constraints on three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs), and need to be considered during g...
— The rapid increase in IC design complexity and wide-spread use of intellectual-property (IP) blocks have made the so-called mixed-size placement a very important topic in recen...
