In this paper we present a very simple, efficient while effective placement algorithm for Row-based VLSIs. This algorithm is based on strict mathematical analysis, and provably can find the global optima. From our experiments, this algorithm is one of the fastest algorithms, especially for very large scale circuits. Another point desired to point out is that our algorithm can be run in both wirelength and timing-driven modes. ASP-DAC '97 0-89791-851-7$5.00
