Abstract
The CAD contest at ICCAD is among the premier research and development contests in the field of Electronic Design Automation (EDA). Since its inaugural year of 2012, the CAD contest at ICCAD has been a worldwide competition, conducted with joint sponsorship from IEEE CEDA and the Ministry of Education, Taiwan. Over the years, the contest has presented challenging problems in varied topic areas, such as, logic synthesis, physical design, design for manufacturability, and 3D IC design. Together with the associated benchmark suites, the contest problems have played a key role in advancing the state-of-the-art in EDA. Additionally, they have fostered productive industry-academia collaboration. In the past three years, the CAD contest has attracted 56 teams from 7 worldwide regions, 87 teams from 9 regions, and 93 teams from 9 regions. The contest has also lead to numerous publications in top-tier journals and conferences, showcasing the research from the topperforming teams.
