(Almost) tight bounds and existence theorems for confluent flows
A flow is said to be confluent if at any node all the flow leaves along a single edge. Given a directed graph G with k sinks and non-negative demands on all the nodes of G, we con...

Congestion reduction in traditional and new routing architectures
In dense integrated circuit designs, management of routing congestion is essential; an over congested design may be unroutable. Many factors influence congestion: placement, rout...

Preferred direction Steiner trees
Interconnect optimization for VLSI circuits has received wide attention. To model routing surfaces, multiple circuit layers are freabstracted as a single rectilinear plane, ignori...

Improved global routing through congestion estimation
In this paper, we present a new method to improve global routing results. By using an amplified congestion estimate to influence a rip-up and reroute approach, we obtain substanti...

Perimeter-degree: a priori metric for directly measuring and homogenizing interconnection complexity in multilevel placement
In this paper, we describe an accurate metric (perimeter-degree) for measuring interconnection complexity and effective use of it for controlling congestion in a multilevel framew...
