The flip-chip package provides a high chip-density solution to the demand for more I/O pads of VLSI designs. In this paper, we present the first routing algorithm in the literatur...
We present the first efficient approach to global routing that takes spacing-dependent costs into account and provably finds a near-optimum solution including these costs. We sh...
FPGA application developers often attempt to use pipelining, Cslowing and retiming to improve the performance of their designs. Unfortunately, such registered netlists present a f...
Previous research has shown both theoretically and practically that simulated annealing can greatly benefit from the incorporation of an adaptive range limiting window to control ...
This paper presents several important enhancements to the recently published multilevel placement package mPL [12]. The improvements include (i) unconstrained quadratic relaxation...
