Abstract

Floorplan representation is a fundamental issue in designing a VLSI floorplanning algorithm as the representation has a great impact on the feasibility and complexity of floorplan designs. This survey paper gives an up-to-date account on various non-slicing floorplan representations in VLSI floorplanning.
