| Handbook of Algorithms for Physical Design Automation provides a detailed overview of VLSI physical design automation, with a particular emphasis on state-of-the-art techniques, trends, and improvement that have emerged over the last decade. After a brief introduction to the modern physical design problem, basic algorithmic techniques, and partitioning, this book discusses significant advances in floorplanning representations and describes recent formulations of the floorplanning problem. The text also addresses issues of placement, net layout and optimization, routing multiple signal nets, manufacturability, physical synthesis, special nets, and designing for specialized technologies.
