Method for estimating routability and congestion in a cell placement for integrated circuit chip
TL;DR: In this article, a method for estimating routing density in the placement of a microelectronic integrated circuit includes superimposing a pattern of contiguous tiles over the placement, with each of the tiles having edges.

Edwin R. Jones,James S. Koford +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multithreaded wavefront routing system for simultaneously planning routes for wiring a semiconductor chip surface is presented, where the surface has a plurality of grids located thereon and routes are planned according to a predetermined netlist.

A comparative study of two Boolean formulations of FPGA detailed routing constraints
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the route-based formulation of Boolean SAT-based routing yields an easier-to-evaluate and more scalable routability Boolean function than the track-based method, providing empirical evidence that a smart/efficient Boolean formulation can achieve significant performance improvement in real-world applications.

Optimization by Simulated Annealing
TL;DR: There is a deep and useful connection between statistical mechanics and multivariate or combinatorial optimization (finding the minimum of a given function depending on many parameters), and a detailed analogy with annealing in solids provides a framework for optimization of very large and complex systems.

Equation of state calculations by fast computing machines
TL;DR: In this article, a modified Monte Carlo integration over configuration space is used to investigate the properties of a two-dimensional rigid-sphere system with a set of interacting individual molecules, and the results are compared to free volume equations of state and a four-term virial coefficient expansion.

A note on two problems in connexion with graphs
TL;DR: A tree is a graph with one and only one path between every two nodes, where at least one path exists between any two nodes and the length of each branch is given.
