Three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) provide an attractive solution for improving circuit performance. Such solutions must be embedded in an electrothermally-conscious d...
In this paper, we present a congestion-driven placement flow. First, we consider in the global placement stage the routing demand to re-place cells in order to avoid congested re...

—We present in this paper a fast and stable global router called NTHU-Route 2.0 that improves the solution quality and runtime of a state-of-the-art router, NTHU-Route, by the fo...
Dynamic overlay routing has been proposed as a way to enhance the reliability and performance of IP networks. The major premise is that overlay routing can bypass congestion, tran...
— Due to its great flexibility, gridless routing is desirable for nanometer circuit designs that use variable wire widths and spacings. Nevertheless, it is much more difficult ...
