A revisit to floorplan optimization by Lagrangian relaxation
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...

A Convex Formulation of Continuous Multi-label Problems
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...

CMP aware shuttle mask floorplanning
- 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...

Fixed-outline Floorplanning through Better Local Search
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...
