Evaluation of placer suboptimality via zero-change netlist transformations
In this paper we introduce the concept of zero-change transformations to quantify the suboptimality of existing placers. Given a netlist and its placement from a placer, we formal...

Natural pseudo-distance and optimal matching between reduced size functions
We study a dissimilarity measure between shapes, expressed by the natural pseudodistance between size pairs, where a shape is viewed as a topological space endowed with a real-val...
