— This paper presents a robust quadratic placement approach, which offers both high-quality placements and excellent computational efficiency. The additional force which distrib...
Traditionally, research in global placement has focused on relatively few simple metrics, such as pure wirelength or routability estimates. However, in the real world today, desig...
We demonstrate how to use placement to ameliorate the predicted repeater explosion problem caused by poor interconnect scaling. We achieve repeater count reduction by dynamically ...

VLSI placement tools usually work in two steps: First, the cells that have to be placed are roughly spread out over the chip area ignoring disjointness (global placement). Then, i...
Linear programming (LP) based methods are attractive for solving the placement problem because of their ability to model Half-Perimeter Wirelength (HPWL) and timing. However, it h...
