Fast simulation is a bottleneck for design space exploration of complex nanoscale CMOS
(nano-CMOS) analog and mixed-signal (AMS) circuits. This paper presents the use of …

We present a new algorithm designed to solve floorplanning problems optimally. More
precisely, the algorithm finds solutions to rectangle packing problems which globally …

Floorplan representation is a fundamental issue in designing a VLSI floorplanning algorithm
as the representation has a great impact on the feasibility and complexity of floorplan …

Floorplanning is crucial in VLSI chip design as it determines the time-to-market and the
quality of the product. In this work, Variable-Order Ant System (VOAS) is developed and …

In the rectangle packing area minimization problem (RPAMP) we are given a set of
rectangles with known dimensions. We have to determine an arrangement of all rectangles …

This paper investigates the 2D rectangle packing area minimization problem (RPAMP), in
which the objective is to pack a set of rectangles into a container with variable sizes and …

Floorplanning is an important problem in very large scale integrated-circuit (VLSI) design
automation as it determines the performance, size, yield, and reliability of VLSI chips. It is an …

Significant increase in design cycle time is caused by the design and optimization
complexity of Analog/Mixed-Signal System-on-Chip (AMS-SoC) components as the …

Floorplanning is one of the important issues in the process of very large-scale integrated
(VLSI) circuit design. It is generally used to determine the performance and size of VLSI …
