Abstract—SAT-based ATPG turned out to be a robust alternative to classical structural ATPG algorithms such as FAN. The number of unclassified faults can be significantly reduce...
Abstract— Over the last years, interest in hybrid metaheuristics has risen considerably in the field of optimization. Combinations of methods such as evolutionary algorithms and...
A very challenging issue for optimizing compilers is the phase ordering problem: In what order should a collection of compiler optimizations be performed? We address this problem ...
Instances of the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) arise in many areas of circuit design and verification. These instances are typically constructed from some human-designed ar...

Classical floorplanning minimizes a linear combination of area and wirelength. When Simulated Annealing is used, e.g., with the Sequence Pair representation, the typical choice o...
