In this paper, we present an experimental integrated platform for the research, development and evaluation of new VLSI back-end algorithms and design flows. Interconnect scaling ...
Global routing is an important step in the physical design process. In this paper, we propose a new global routing algorithm Archer, which resolves some of the most common problem...
Simulated annealing based standard cell placement for VLSI designs has long been acknowledged as a compute-intensive process. All previous work in parallel simulated annealing bas...
We present a hierarchicaltechniquefor floorplanning and pin assignment of the general cell layouts. Given a set of cells with their shape lists, a layout aspect ratio, relative po...

We present in detail a GCA (Global Cellular Automaton) algorithm with 3n cells for Hirschberg’s algorithm which determines the connected components of a n-node undirected graph w...
