  • Abstract
    A multichip module placement algorithm which handles heat distribution as well as traditional placement objectives is presented. The algorithm uses a combined quad-partitioning genetic search, and simulated annealing technique. Experimental results show improvements in the min-cut and simulated annealing algorithms, in terms of net length, while satisfying the heat distribution constraints
