TLDR
The manufacturing-related tasks in the engineering design of digital systems are those processes which translate a logic design into a functioning physical system.Abstract:
The manufacturing-related tasks in the engineering design of digital systems are those processes which translate a logic design into a functioning physical system. That is, they begin with a description of the system as an interconnection of logic units (such as gates, flip-flops, counters, memories, ALU's, etc.) transforming it into a description of the placement of physical modules and the wiring which interconnects specific terminals on these modules. This portion of the design process has been the one which first saw substantial application of computing, vastly improving the speed, accuracy and capacity of the design organization. It is in this area still that the bulk of the production digital design automation systems are categorized.read more

An efficient heuristic procedure for partitioning graphs
Brian W. Kernighan,Shou-De Lin +1 more
TL;DR: A heuristic method for partitioning arbitrary graphs which is both effective in finding optimal partitions, and fast enough to be practical in solving large problems is presented.

Some experimental results on placement techniques
TL;DR: It was found that the new force-directed pairwise relaxation algorithm was the best algorithm for the larger problems and was competitive with the other algorithms for the smaller problems.

A method to improve two-dimensional layout
TL;DR: A system is proposed where a tentative solution is automatically generated and then interactive improvements are allowed by a conversational display unit to minimize the amount of waste produced.
