This paper proposes a new MINLP model for heat exchanger network synthesis that includes streams with phase change. The model considers every possible combination of process strea...
To truly exploit FPGAs for rapid turn-around development and prototyping, placement times must be reduced to seconds; latebound, reconfigurable computing applications may demand p...
In this paper, we propose an effective algorithm flow to handle largescale mixed-size placement. The basic idea is to use floorplanning to guide the placement of objects at the gl...
