Abstract-This paper proposes a topological representation for general floorplan, called the H-sequence, which can check channel-adjacency and boundary-adjacency in a constant time. Moreover, we define Routing-cost for the placement to measure its routing difficulty. Experimental results indicate that H-sequence based placement algorithm can optimize routing-cost effectively in a short time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
