We empirically assess the implications of fixed terminals for hypergraph partitioning heuristics. Our experimental testbed incorporates a leading-edge multilevel hypergraph partit...

In recent years, the X-Architecture is introduced to obtain better performance for integrated circuit physical design. This paper reformulates the global routing problem in X-Archi...
- In this paper, we present a new global router, NTHU-Route, for modern designs. NTHU-Route is based on iterative rip-ups and reroutes, and several techniques are proposed to enhan...
It is known to many researchers in the partitioning community that the recursive bipartitioning approach outperforms the direct non-recursive approach in solving the multiway part...
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...
