  • Abstract
    A parallel algorithm for tiling with polyominoes is presented. The tiling problem is to pack polyominoes in a finite checkerboard. The algorithm using l×m×n processing elements requires O(1) time, where l is the number of different kinds of polyominoes on an m×n checkerboard. The algorithm can be used for placement of components or cells in a very large-scale integrated circuit (VLSI) chip, designing and compacting printed circuit boards, and solving a variety of two- or three-dimensional packing problems
