Vlsi Physical Design From Graph Partitioning To Timing Closure

The complexity of modern chip design requires extensive use of specialized softwareampnbspthroughout the process. To achieve the best results a user of this software needs aampnbsphighlevel understanding of the underlying mathematical models and algorithms. Inampnbspaddition a developer of such software must have a keen understanding of relevant computerampnbspscience aspects including algorithmic performance bottlenecks and how variousampnbspalgorithms operate and interact.
