We propose a modified sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method for solving mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems. Under the assumption that integer variables have a s...
As the clock frequencies used in industrial applications increase, the timing requirements imposed on routing problems become tighter. So, it becomes important to route the nets w...
We present a novel search algorithm which is suitable for optimizing functions with a high-dimensional discrete-valued parameter vector. The algorithm is designed to find a funct...

All existing methods for thermal-via allocation are based on a steady-state thermal analysis and may lead to excessive number of thermal vias. This paper develops an accurate and ...
This paper describes a global progressive register allocator, a register allocator that uses an expressive model of the register allocation problem to quickly find a good allocat...
