In a recent study published in Engineering, researchers have developed an exact algorithm for placement optimization in mixed-cell-height (MCH) circuits, addressing key challenges in modern ...

A new technical paper titled “DiffChip: Thermally Aware Chip Placement with Automatic Differentiation” was published by researchers at MIT and IBM. Abstract “Chiplets are modular integrated circuits ...

A placement algorithm usually takes a list of shapes, sorted by some property such as increasing height or decreasing area, and then applies a placement rule to each of these shapes in turn. The ...
