With the advent of deep sub-micron (DSM) era, floorplanning has become increasingly important in physical design process. In this paper we clarify a misunderstanding in using Lag...
We propose a spatially continuous formulation of Ishikawa's discrete multi-label problem. We show that the resulting non-convex variational problem can be reformulated as a co...

- By putting different chips on the same mask, shuttle mask (or multiple project wafer) provides an economical solution for low volume designs and design prototypes to share the ri...

– Floorplanning large designs with many hard macros and IP blocks of various sizes is becoming an increasingly important and challenging problem. This paper presents a global flo...
Classical floorplanning minimizes a linear combination of area and wirelength. When Simulated Annealing is used, e.g., with the Sequence Pair representation, the typical choice o...
