Advanced modular cell placement system with median control and increase in resolution
TL;DR: In this article, a system for proportionally partitioning multiple groups of cells on the surface of a semiconductor chip into subregions is presented, where the cell groups are separated by dividing lines, and the system comprising a calculator which determines an offset of the cut line from the dividing line, a shifter which moves the location of said groups, and an overflow evaluator and compensator which shifts any cells outside said region to an edge of said region.

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.
