A Novel Btree Crossover-Based Simulated Annealing Algorithm for Combinatorial Optimization in VLSI Fixed-Outline Floorplans

In VLSI physical design, floorplanning is an important step. When there is a substantial increase in the number of modules in circuits, physical design automation tools stand in need of efficient algorithms. This paper proposes a new algorithm, namely B*tree crossover simulated annealing algorithm (...
