A brief introduction is given to the actual mechanics of simulated annealing, and a simple
example from an IC layout is used to illustrate how these ideas can be applied. The …

This paper surveys the literature on the cutting stock problem, also known as the trim-loss
problem, mainly for the two-dimensional case. Special attention is paid to the methodologies …

Since their introduction in 1984, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become
one of the most popular implementation media for digital circuits and have grown into a $2 …

Many problems in engineering, planning and manufacturing can be modeled as that of
minimizing or maximizing a cost function over a finite set of discrete variables. This class of …

We describe a technique for storage allocation and garbage collection in the absence of
significant co‐operation from the code using the allocator. This limits garbage collection …

Simulated annealing is a randomized algorithm which has been proposed for finding
globally optimum least-cost configurations in large NP-complete problems with cost …

We present in this paper a new algorithm for floorplan design using the method of simulated
annealing. The major contributions of the paper are: 1. A new representation of floorplans …
