Block placement with symmetry constraints based on the O-tree non-slicing representation
The ordered tree (O-tree) representation has recently gained much interest in layout design automation. Different from previous topological representations of non-slicing floorpl...

Placement feedback: a concept and method for better min-cut placements
The advent of strong multi-level partitioners has made topdown min-cut placers a favored choice for modern placer implementations. We examine terminal propagation, an important st...
