Abstract. In this paper, we present a parallel tabu search (TS) algorithm for efficient optimization of a constrained multiobjective VLSI standard cell placement problem. The prima...
This paper presents SafeChoice (SC), a novel clustering algorithm for wirelength-driven placement. Unlike all previous approaches, SC is proposed based on a fundamental theorem, s...
1In this paper, we will present an effective layout method for analog circuits. We consider symmetry constraint, common centroid constraint, device merging and device clustering du...

DSM and nanometer VLSI designs are subject to an increasingly significant thermal effect on VLSI circuit lifetime and performance variation, which can be effectively subdued by V...
