Exploiting Proximity Information in a Satisfiability Based Attack Against Split Manufactured Circuits

TL;DR: This paper proposes an effective method to exploit proximity information extracted from the FEOL circuit to reduce the size of the interconnection network which models the missing BEOL layers which in turn significantly reduces thesize of the resulting SAT problem.

Meta-Heuristic Algorithms for FPGA Segmented Channel Routing Problems with Non-standard Cost Functions

TL;DR: Three meta-heuristics for FPGA segmented channel routing problems (FSCRPs) with a new cost function in which the cost of each assignment is not known in advance, and thecost of a solution only can be obtained from entire feasible assignments are presented.

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.
