Practical Problems in VLSI Physical Design Automation

Authors:

  • This first-of-its-kind book provides small sample problems and their solutions related to the algorithms widely used in VLSI physical design automation today
  • Provides a huge amount of figures and tables to help understand the algorithms in an intuitive and organized fashion
  • Physical design is an exciting and highly rewarding area, and students and engineers with motivation and skills are always in huge demand. Another important goal of this book is to help them realize that the learning curve is not so steep after all
  • Will help the students from algorithm, combinatorial optimization, and graph theory fields learn how their theories are applied to solve circuit design problems
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book

Practical Problems in VLSI Physical Design Automation contains problems and solutions related to various well-known algorithms used in VLSI physical design automation. Dr. Lim believes that the best way to learn new algorithms is to walk through a small example by hand. This knowledge will greatly help understand, analyze, and improve some of the well-known algorithms. The author has designed and taught a graduate-level course on physical CAD for VLSI at Georgia Tech. Over the years he has written his homework with such a focus and has maintained typeset version of the solutions.
