— This paper presents a robust quadratic placement approach, which offers both high-quality placements and excellent computational efficiency. The additional force which distrib...
As technology advances, more and more issues need to be considered in the placement stage, e.g., wirelength, congestion, timing, coupling. It is very hard to consider all of them ...
— Y -interconnects for VLSI chips are based on the use of global and semi-global wiring in only 0◦ , 60◦ , and 120◦ . Though X-interconnects are fast replacing the traditio...
The demand for high-speed FPGA compilation tools has occurred for three reasons: first, as FPGA device capacity has grown, the computation time devoted to placement and routing h...
Obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (OARSMT) construction is becoming one of the most sought after problems in modern design flow. In this paper we present FOARS, ...
