The R*-tree is a state-of-the-art spatial index structure. It has already found its way into commercial systems. The most important improvement of the R*-tree over the original R-...
In this paper, we propose an effective algorithm flow to handle largescale mixed-size placement. The basic idea is to use floorplanning to guide the placement of objects at the gl...
In double patterning lithography (DPL), coloring conflict and stitch minimization are the two main challenges. Post layout decomposition algorithm [1] [2]may not be enough to achi...
In this paper, we present DeFer -- a fast, high-quality and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a non-slicing floorplan by compacting a slicing fl...
Abstract-- In nanometer-scale VLSI technologies, several interconnect issues like routing congestion and interconnect delay have become the main concerns in placement. However, all...
