The gap between VLSI technology and fabrication technology leads to strong refractive effects in lithography. Consequently, it is a huge challenge to reliably print layout features...
We present a new timing driven method for global placement. Our method is based on the observation that similar net length reductions in the different nets that make up a path may...
This paper presents a new operation chaining reconfigurable scheduling algorithm (CRS) based on list scheduling that maximizes instruction level parallelism available in distribut...

Nowadays a placement problem often involves multi-million objects and excessive fixed blockages. We present a new global placement algorithm that scales well to the modern large-s...
In this paper, we present a new multipacking-tree (MP-tree) representation for macro placements to handle modern mixed-size designs with large macros and high chip utilization rate...
