  • Abstract
    The authors present two algorithms to optimally select implementations for rectangular and L-shaped subfloorplans. The algorithms are designed specifically for the floorplan optimization algorithm given by T.-C. Wang and D.F. Wong (see Proc. 27th ACM/IEEE Des. Autom. Conf., p.180-6 (1990)), but they can also be applied to other algorithms as well. The experimental results, based on incorporating the two algorithms into Wang´s algorithm, whose performance was considerably improved were very encouraging. For the test runs where Wang´s algorithm failed to run, the algorithms helped to produce satisfactory solutions
