We propose the first combinatorial solution to one of the most classic problems in combinatorial optimization: the generalized minimum cost flow problem (flow with losses and g...
VLSI placement tools usually work in two steps: First, the cells that have to be placed are roughly spread out over the chip area ignoring disjointness (global placement). Then, i...
We consider the separable nonlinear and strictly convex single-commodity network flow problem (SSCNFP). We develop a computational scheme for generating a primal feasible solution...
Many current integrated circuits designs, such as those released for the ISPD2005[14] placement contest, are extremely large and can contain a great deal of white space. These new...
We present a formulation of retiming to minimize the number of registers in a design by iterating a maximum network flow problem. The retiming returned will be the optimum one whi...
