The annual CAD Contest in Taiwan, sponsored by the Ministry of Education (MOE), has been held for 13 consecutive years and has successfully boosted the EDA research momentum in Taiwan. It has been internationalized under the joint sponsorship of IEEE CEDA and Taiwan MOE since last year. In the first year of this new contest, 2012 CAD Contest at ICCAD, more than 50 teams from 7 regions have been attracted to join. Many results of the top teams have been further enhanced and converted to top international conference and/or journal papers. In the second year, CAD Contest at ICCAD becomes more well– known and well–organized, and is believed to bring more significant contributions to our global EDA community. You are invited to participate!<br>CALL FOR PARTICIPATION<br>Click here to view the official Call for Participation and website<br>Problems<br>In the second year (2013), we design three contest problems covering three distinct areas:<br>1. Technology Mapping for Macro Blocks (Contributed by Taiwan Cadence Design Systems, Inc.)<br>2. Placement Finishing – Detailed Placement and Legalization (Contributed by IBM Research, Austin, TX)<br>3. Mask Optimization (Contributed by IBM Research, East Fishkill, NY)<br>Evaluation and Ranking<br>1. Each contest problem is ranked separately<br>2. The quality metrics are determined by the problem specifications, including correctness, runtime and memory usage<br>3. Each submitted program will be evaluated by the announced benchmarks and hidden benchmarks<br>4. The officially supported programming language will be C/C++. For other languages, please check with the contest organizers first. MATLAB is prohibited for use in the contest<br>5. The library that can be used in the contest is the standard C/C++ library<br>6.
