The two researchers said that their algorithm returned the longest water path in about ten minutes of computation. The longest path for land took longer to find needing 45 minutes.

While they were at it, they found the longest straight path you could drive without hitting water.

We know that via minimization is a very important problem in channel routing. The main aim of via minimization is to improve the circuit performance and productivity, to reduce the completion rate of ...

Timing optimization plays an essential role in very large scale integration (VLSI) design closure. Traditional placement algorithms seldom consider the complex timing constraints and thus may lead to ...

The longest straight-line route possible without ever crossing a body of water. The algorithm groups similar paths into the same ‘branch,’ then evaluates the branches against each other.
