Kernighan-Lin Algorithm • Perform single KL pass on the following circuit: • KL needs undirected graph (clique-based weighting) Practical Problems in VLSI Physical Design
First Swap Practical Problems in VLSI Physical Design
Second Swap Practical Problems in VLSI Physical Design
Third Swap Practical Problems in VLSI Physical Design
Fourth Swap • Last swap does not require gain computation Practical Problems in VLSI Physical Design
Summary • Cutsize reduced from 5 to 3 • Two best solutions found (solutions are always area-balanced) Practical Problems in VLSI Physical Design
