  • Abstract
    The problem of flipping modules about their horizontal and/or vertical axes so as to minimize the estimated total wire length is considered. Polynomial time algorithms are proposed for some classes of module layouts. Further, it is shown that a simple greedy heuristic often outperforms the neural network and simulated annealing heuristics proposed earlier for this problem
