"At first, you might want to make moves or swaps over large distances or you might want to accept some percent of moves that don't improve the objective, but as time goes on ...
However, as it turns out, you technically don't need this annealing part to make FPGA placement work. You can just randomly try different moves and accept or reject them based on whether they improve the objective function. This is what I did in my toy implementation of an FPGA placer just to keep it simple."
