Paul de Dood, John Wawrzynek, Erwin Liu, Roberto Suaya · 1991
We present a two-dimensional layout compactor with octagonal geometry.We discuss layout optimization algorithms used within a topological framework.We present the results of comparing the compactor against a standard set of benchmarks.This version of the compactor uses an iterative greedy layout optimization algorithm with wire minimization and produces leafcells more compact than others published.
