In this paper, we propose a novel circuit components placement algorithm to place arbitrarily shaped rectilinear and soft blocks. The experimental results on the randomly generated cases and industrial examples demonstrate that the algorithm ca.n find a very compact placement and minimize the wire length a.t the same time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
