It is a modified HV/VH tree using arrays as the primary container in bisector lists and leaf nodes. By grouping and sorting objects within these arrays together with a customized binary search algorithm, our new data structure provides excellent performance in both memory usage and region query speed. Experimental results show that in comparison with the original HV/VH tree, which has been regarded as the best layout data structure to date, the new data structure uses much less memory and can become 30% faster on region query.展开更多

文摘We present a new data structure for the representation of an integrated circuit layout. It is a modified HV/VH tree using arrays as the primary container in bisector lists and leaf nodes. By grouping and sorting objects within these arrays together with a customized binary search algorithm, our new data structure provides excellent performance in both memory usage and region query speed.
