SIMULATED ANNEALING BASED PLACEMENT ALGORITHMS AND RESEARCH CHALLENGES: A SURVEY

Suchismita Pattanaik, Subhendu Prakash Bhoi, Rakesh Mohanty

In this survey paper, we have done a comprehensive study of VLSI placement algorithms in the literature and classified them from different perspectives. After an extensive review, we have performed a chronological analytical study of the simulated annealing based placement algorithm. We have explored the pros and cons of simulated annealing based placement along with its applications. To the best of our knowledge, there is no state of the art survey on the simulated annealing based placement algorithms in the literature till date. This motivated us to make a survey on simulated annealing based placement algorithms. We have explored some of the research issues and challenges to open up future directions of research work in this area. We have also addressed some research issues and suggested few directions to fill up the research gap.
