In this paper, we present DeFer--a fast, high-quality, scalable, and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a nonslicing floorplan by compacting a sli...
This paper analyses alternatives for the parallelization of the Simulated Annealing algorithm when applied to the placement of modules in a VLSI circuit considering the use of PVM...
The advances in the programmable hardware has lead to new architectures where the hardware can be dynamically adapted to the application to gain better performance. There are stil...
— In this paper, we present the first multi-objective microarchitectural floorplanning algorithm for designing highperformance, high-reliability processors in the early design ...
