Abstract(in English) | For a placement problem to minimize the total wire length among modules. force-directed models are often used. However, since the conventional for-directed based algorithms permit overlaps of modules, it takes a long time to remove overlaps of modules in a placement that is obtained by those algorithms. In this paper, we propose a new force-directed based algorithm that, does not, permit overlaps of modules all through the processing. In our approach, when one module collides with other module, this colliding module moves in direction to avoid another module so that module does not overlap. In addition, we devise an initial placement, and a shape of modules so that modules can move smoothly and so that good placement can be obtained. In experiments, our algorithm is faster than other force-directed based algorithms, while the total wire length is comprarable to that by other force-directed based algorithms. |
