An algorithm that remains in use at the core of many partitioning systems is the Kernighan-Lin algorithm and a variant the Fidducia-Matheysses (FM) algorithm. To understand the FM...

The spectral method can lead to a high quality of multi-way partition due to its ability to capture global netlist information. For spectral partition, n netlist modules are mappe...
The inherent distortion of the structural regularity of VLSI datapaths after logic optimization has until now precluded dense regular layouts of optimized datapaths despite their ...
