Floorplan area minimization using Lagrangian relaxation
modules can be handled in constraint graphs efficiently. This Floorplan area minimization is an important problem because many modules have shape flexibilities during the floorplan...

Optimal partitioners and end-case placers for standard-cell layout
We study alternatives to FM-based partitioning in the context of end-case processing for top-down standard-cell placement. The primary motivation is that small partitioning instan...

A new heuristic for rectilinear Steiner trees
The minimum rectilinear Steiner tree (RST) problem is one of the fundamental problems in the field of electronic design automation. The problem is NP-hard, and much work has been ...

Comparing Mostly-Copying and Mark-Sweep Conservative Collection
Many high-level language compilers generate C code and then invoke a C compiler for code generation. To date, most of these compilers link the resulting code against a conservativ...

Circuit optimization via adjoint Lagrangians
The circuit tuning problem is best approached by means of gradient-based nonlinear optimization algorithms. For large circuits, gradient computation can be the bottleneck in the o...
