The advent of strong multi-level partitioners has made topdown min-cut placers a favored choice for modern placer implementations. We examine terminal propagation, an important st...
We propose a new multilevel framework for large-scale placement called MAPLE that respects utilization constraints, handles movable macros and guides the transition between global...

Existing 3D placement techniques are mainly used for standardcell circuits, while mixed-size placement is needed to support highlevel functional units and intellectual property (I...
In this paper, we describe an accurate metric (perimeter-degree) for measuring interconnection complexity and effective use of it for controlling congestion in a multilevel framew...

In this paper we propose a partitioning-based placement algorithm for FPGAs. The method incorporates simple, but effective heuristics that target delay minimization. The placement...
