An improved P-admissible floorplan representation based on corner block list

The corner block list representation (CBL) introduced in 2000 is an efficient and effective model for floorplanning and placement while still having some limitations such as redundancy and incompleteness. In this paper, we present an auxiliary 3-route model to eliminate the redundancy and insert empty rooms to resolve the incompleteness. Finally we attain a P-admissible representation ECBL (2) which has higher performances than the original CBL and the count of its solution space is O((2n)!2/sup 6n//n!n/sup 4/).
