Global placement of hypergraphs is critical in the top-down placement of large timing-driven designs 10, 16 . Placement quality is evaluated in terms of the half-perimeter wirelen...
Differential evolution (DE) is a simple yet powerful evolutionary algorithm for global numerical optimization. Different strategies have been proposed for the offspring generation...
Deformation at contacts between the workpiece and locators/clamps resulting from large contact forces causes overall workpiece displacement, and affects the localization accuracy o...
