During the ispd05 placement contest, we employed the forcedirected approach Kraftwerk for global placement complemented by the network-flow based final placer Domino. These powe...
In this paper, we summarize circuit placement techniques and algorithms developed by the BLAC CAD research group; these have been integrated into our recursive bisection based pla...

We develop a projected-subgradient primal-dual Lagrange optimization for global placement, that can be instantiated with a variety of interconnect models. It decomposes the origin...
Modern design requirements have brought additional complexities to netlists and layouts. Millions of components, whitespace resources, and fixed/movable blocks are just a few to ...
In this invited note we describe Capo, an open-source software tool for cell placement, mixed-size placement and floorplanning with emphasis on routability. Capo is among the fas...
