  • Abstract
    A new algorithm for general area multichip module routing using a multi-candidate and compatibility graph approach, which maximises routing density while minimising vias and total wire length, is presented. Experimental results using standard industrial benchmarks show improved results relative to a commercial router and other previously proposed routers while offering flexibility for future incorporation of noise and delay constraints
