An orthogonal simulated annealing algorithm for large floorplanning problems.

An orthogonal simulated annealing algorithm for large floorplanning problems.

The conventional simulated annealing with some random generation mechanism using the sequence-pair topological representation in block placement and floorplanning is effective for a very small number of modules (40-50). This paper proposes an orthogonal simulated annealing algorithm (OSA) with an ef...
