  • Abstract
    A novel algorithm for compacting a VLSI chip on the macrocell level is presented. Compared to previous algorithms, the technique can handle larger designs, produces higher-quality output, and reduces designer intervention as much as possible. Jogs are automatically introduced in the connecting wires to achieve the needed flexibility for placing cells into optimal positions
