...In 2010, physical separation of modules became less critical, as large-scale placement optimizations assumed greater responsibility for IC layout and learned to blend nearby modules [33, 34]....

...Despite the steady improvement of analytical placement, partitioning-based methods improved enough to provide leading-edge performance: 1) (multilevel) Fiduccia–Mattheyses (FM) [63] heuristics produced much better results much faster than previous methods; 2) the use of end-case techniques (optimal partitioning and end-case placement) during top– down layout optimization provided high-quality detailed placement [18]; and 3) the use of flat and multilevel FM heuristics was carefully optimized, including cutline selection and hierarchical whitespace allocation [24]....
