The number of vias generated during the global routing stage is a critical factor for the yield of final circuits. However, most global routers only approach the problem by chargin...
Abstract—This work introduces GRIP, a global routing technique via integer programming. GRIP optimizes wirelength and via cost directly without going through a traditional layer ...

The sustained progress of VLSI technology has altered the landscape of routing which is a major physical design stage. For timing driven routings, traditional approaches which con...
We propose GRIP, a scalable global routing technique via Integer Programming (IP). GRIP optimizes wirelength and via cost without going through a layer assignment phase. GRIP sele...
