Abstract-- Due to photo-lithography effects and manufacture process variations, the actual features fabricated on the wafer are different from the designed ones. This difference ca...
How to estimate the shortest routing length when certain blocks are considered as routing obstacles is becoming an essential problem for block placement because HPWL is no longer v...
