Multiobjective VLSI cell placement using distributed simulated evolution algorithm
— Simulated Evolution (SimE) is a sound stochastic approximation algorithm based on the principles of adaptation. If properly engineered it is possible for SimE to reach nearopti...

Multiobjective VLSI cell placement using distributed genetic algorithm
Genetic Algorithms have worked fairly well for the VLSI cell placement problem, albeit with significant run times. Two parallel models for GA are presented for VLSI cell placemen...

Force directed mongrel with physical net constraints
This paper describes a new force directed global placement algorithm that exploits and extends techniques from two leading placers, Force-directed [12] [26] and Mongrel [22]. It c...

An Island-Based GA Implementation for VLSI Standard-Cell Placement
Genetic algorithms require relatively large computation time to solve optimization problems, especially in VLSI CAD such as module placement. Therefore, island-based parallel GAs a...

A sensitivity based placer for standard cells
We present a new timing driven method for global placement. Our method is based on the observation that similar net length reductions in the different nets that make up a path may...
