It is shown that the oorplan area minimization problem can be formulated as a convex programming problem with the numbers of variables and constraints signi cantly less than those...
modules can be handled in constraint graphs efficiently. This Floorplan area minimization is an important problem because many modules have shape flexibilities during the floorplan...

A two-stage optimization methodology is proposed to solve the fixed-outline floorplanning problem that is a global optimization problem for wirelength minimization. In the first st...
Approximation has been shown to be an eective method for reducing the time and space costs of solving various oorplan area minimization problems. In this paper, we present several...
Abstract-- With technology further scaling into deep submicron era, power supply noise become an important problem. Power supply noise problem is getting worse due to serious IR-dr...
