Abstract: The complexity of next-generation VLSI systems will exceed the capabilities of top-down layout synthesis algorithms, particularly in netlist partitioning and module placement. Bottom-up clustering is needed to "condense" the netlist so that the problem size becomes tractable to existing optimization methods. In this paper, we establish the DS quality measure, the first general metric for evaluation of clustering algorithms. The DS metric in turn motivates our RWST algorithm, a new self-tuning...

.... witnessed by the many ad hoc means in the literature (e.g. all pairs shortest paths, k Gamma l connectivity [9] degree=separation [10], etc. Because the min cut partitioning objective of Equation (1) requires us to minimize f and the max sum objective of Equation (3)...

...problem is NP complete. However, many algorithms have been developed that find reasonably good partitionings [23, 22, 9, 24, 19, 18, 20, 2, 3, 7, 8, 12, 5, 21, 16, 13]. The k way partitioning problem is most frequently solved by recursive bisection. That is, we first obtain a 2...
