Hierarchical Floorplan Design on the Internet

With the proliferation of transistor count in VLSI design, more and more design groups try to figure out a way to ef-ficiently combine their designs. The Internet features dis-tributed computing and resource sharing. Consequently, a hierarchical floorplan design can be adequately solved in the Internet environment. In this paper, we address the problem of area minimization floorplan design in the Inter-net environment. We propose a novel algorithm, RMG al-gorithm. Taking advantage of the Internet, RMG algorithm reduces the computing time by shortening the critical path in the floorplan tree. With creating floorplan design in the Internet environment, it can be seen that the Internet ad
