  • Abstract
    We address the practical problem of fixed-outline VLSI floorplanning with minimizing the objective of area. This problem was shown significantly much more difficult than the well-researched floorplan problems without fixed-outline regime (N. Saurabh, et al. (2001)). We successfully develop an algorithm with evolutionary search to efficiently handle the fixed-die floorplanning problem and achieve near 100% successful probability, on the average.
