— In today’s VLSI designs, there can be many blockages in a routing region. The obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimum tree (OARSMT) problem has become an important prob...
Given a set of pins and a set of obstacles on routing layers, a multilayer obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (ML-OARSMT) connects these pins by rectilinear edges w...
Given a set of pins and a set of obstacles on a plane, an obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (OARSMT) connects these pins, possibly through some additional points (...
Circuit interconnect has become a substantial obstacle in the design of high performance systems. In this paper we explore a new routing paradigm that strikes at the root of the i...
—Motivated by the goal of increasing the performance of FPGA-based designs, we propose new Steiner and arborescence FPGA routing algorithms. Our Steiner tree constructions signiï...
