An Improved Multi-Level Framework for Force-Directed Placement
One of the greatest impediments to achieving high quality placements using force-directed methods lies in the large amount of overlap initially present in these techniques. This o...

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...
