RQL: Global Placement via Relaxed Quadratic Spreading and Linearization
This paper describes a simple and effective quadratic placement algorithm called RQL. We show that a good quadratic placement, followed by local wirelength-driven spreading can pr...

TROY: Track Router with Yield-driven Wire Planning
In this paper, we propose TROY, the first track router with yield-driven wire planning to optimize yield loss due to random defects. As the probability of failure (POF) computed f...
