Abstract :
Multichip module (MCM) technologies introduce new levels of complexity in the design and analysis of systems. As a result, feasibility estimation and cost optimization are crucial to a successful design effort. The authors propose an efficient but effective global router based on a multiterminal multicommodity flow model to perform the estimation
