On The Difficulty Of Manhattan Channel Routing, Ronald I. Greenberg, Joseph Jaja, Sridhar Krishnamurthy Dec 1992

On The Difficulty Of Manhattan Channel Routing, Ronald I. Greenberg, Joseph Jaja, Sridhar Krishnamurthy

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

We show that channel routing in the Manhattan model remains difficult even when all nets are single-sided. Given a set of n single-sided nets, we consider the problem of determining the minimum number of tracks required to obtain a dogleg-free routing. In addition to showing that the decision version of the problem isNP-complete, we show that there are problems requiring at least d+Omega(sqrt(n)) tracks, where d is the density. This existential lower bound does not follow from any of the known lower bounds in the literature.


Packet Routing In Networks With Long Wires, Ronald I. Greenberg, H.-C. Oh Oct 1992

Packet Routing In Networks With Long Wires, Ronald I. Greenberg, H.-C. Oh

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

In this paper, we examine the packet routing problem for networks with wires of differing length. We consider this problem in a network independent context, in which routing time is expressed in terms of “congestion” and “dilation” measures for a set of packet paths. We give, for any constant ε > 0, a randomized on-line algorithm for routing any set of N packets in O((Clg^ε(Nd)+Dlg(Nd))/lglg(Nd)) time, where C is the maximum congestion and D is the length of the longest path, both taking wire delays into account, and d is the longest path in terms of number of wires. We also …


Minimum Separation For Single-Layer Channel Routing, Ronald I. Greenberg, F. Miller Maley Sep 1992

Minimum Separation For Single-Layer Channel Routing, Ronald I. Greenberg, F. Miller Maley

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

We present a linear-time algorithm for determining the minimum height of a single-layer routing channel. The algorithm handles single-sided connections and multiterminal nets. It yields a simple routability test for single-layer switchboxes, correcting an error in the literature.


Finding A Maximum-Density Planar Subset Of A Set Of Nets In A Channel, Ronald I. Greenberg, Jau-Der Shih Feb 1992

Finding A Maximum-Density Planar Subset Of A Set Of Nets In A Channel, Ronald I. Greenberg, Jau-Der Shih

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

We present efficient algorithms to find a maximum-density planar subset of n 2-pin nets in a channel. The simplest approach is to make repeated usage of Supowit's dynamic programming algorithm for finding a maximum-size planar subset, which leads to O(n^3) time to find a maximum-density planar subset. But we also provide an algorithm whose running time is dependent on other problem parameters and is often more efficient. A simple bound on the running time of this algorithm is O(nlgn+n(t+1)w), where t is the number of two-sided nets, and w is the number of nets in the output. Though the worst-case …

A Proposal For United States/Polish Collaboration On Energy And The Environment, Carole B. Szpunar Jan 1992

A Proposal For United States/Polish Collaboration On Energy And The Environment, Carole B. Szpunar

Chemistry: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Argonne National Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy facility that is operated by the University of Chicago and located southwest of Chicago, Illinois, has proposed a collaborative effort by the United States and Poland to conduct applied research on energy and environmental topics of common interest. Through this collaboration, evaluative studies on energy and environmental assessment issues could be developed and implemented by Argonne and one or more sister institutions in Poland, which could lead to active research, development, and demonstration joint activities. The objective of this initiative is to produce strategies and options for review by Poland's decision makers …
