This paper presents a comprehensive survey on global routing research over about the last
two decades, with an emphasis on the problems of simultaneously routing multiple nets in …

Delineating the tremendous growth in this area, the Handbook of Approximation Algorithms
and Metaheuristics covers fundamental, theoretical topics as well as advanced, practical …

Over the past decade, system-on-chip (SoC) designs have evolved to address the ever
increasing complexity of applications, fueled by the era of digital convergence …

We study scaling in the context of typical block-level wiring distributions, and identify its
impact on the design process. In particular, we study the implications of exponentially …

This book provides broad and comprehensive coverage of the entire EDA flow. EDA/VLSI
practitioners and researchers in need of fluency in an" adjacent" field will find this an …

Classical floorplanning minimizes a linear combination of area and wirelength. When
simulated annealing is used, eg, with the sequence pair representation, the typical choice of …

Most recent class-level object recognition systems work with visual words, ie, vector
quantized local descriptors. In this paper we examine the feasibility of a data-independent …

As the integrated circuits (ICs) are scaled into nanometer dimensions and operate in
gigahertz frequencies, interconnects have become critical in determining system …

In this paper we introduce a novel field programmable gate array (FPGA) architecture with
resistive random access memory (RRAM)-based programmable interconnects (FPGA-RPI) …

The dominating contribution of interconnect to system per-formance has made it critical to
plan for buffer and wiring resources in the layout. Both buffers and wires must be con …
