A New Optimization Cost Model for VLSI Standard Cell Placement

In this paper, we propose a new optimization cost model for VLSI placement. It distinguishes itself from the traditional wire-length cost model by having direct impact on the quality of the detailed routing phase. We also extend the well-known simulated annealing standard cell placement algorithm by applying our new cost model. Experimental results show that we got 13% layout area reduction compared to traditional wire length model, 11% reduction to commercial tool.published_or_final_versio

Recommending anchor points in structure-preserving hypertext document retrieval

Traditional WWW search engines index and recommend individual Web pages to assist users in locating relevant documents. Users are often overwhelmed by the large answer set recommended by the search engines. The logical starting point of the hyper-document is thus hidden among the large basket of matching pages. Users need to spend a lot of effort browsing through the pages to locate the starting point, a very time consuming process. This paper studies the anchor point indexing problem. The anchor points of a given user query is a small set of key pages from which the larger set of documents that are relevant to the query can be easily reached. The use of anchor points help solve the problems of huge answer set and low precision suffered by most search engines by considering the hyper-link structures of the relevant documents, and by providing a summary view of the result set.published_or_final_versio
