Abstract

In Vijayan and Tsay proposed a topological constraint based approach for finding an floor plan with minimal area of a set of blocks from a relative placement. In this paper, we propose a new floor planning algorithm by modifying the constraint based approach. The new algorithm reduces the size of the final layout by removing all redundant edges rather than removing only the edges on the critical path. Our experiments showed that the improved algorithm provides an average of 20 percent better reduction in the total layout area.
