— In this paper, we consider the thermal placement problem for gate arrays. We introduce a new combinatorial optimization problem, matrix synthesis problem (MSP), to model the th...
— A method for timing driven placement is presented. The core of the approach is optimal timing-driven relaxed placement based on a linear programming (LP) formulation. The formu...

In the context of physical synthesis, large-scale standard-cell placement algorithms must facilitate incremental changes to layout, both local and global. In particular, flexible ...

It is well known that optimal server placement is NP-hard. We present an approximate model for the case when both clients and servers are dense, and propose a simple server alloca...
