The standard cell placement problem has been extensively studied in the past twenty years. Many approaches were proposed and proven e ective in practice. However, successful place...
— Simulated Evolution (SimE) is a sound stochastic approximation algorithm based on the principles of adaptation. If properly engineered it is possible for SimE to reach nearopti...
This paper analyses alternatives for the parallelization of the Simulated Annealing algorithm when applied to the placement of modules in a VLSI circuit considering the use of PVM...
—Algorithmic enhancements are described that enable large computational reduction in mean square-error data clustering. These improvements are incorporated into a parallel data-c...
Recent advances in high-speed networks, rapid improvements in microprocessor design, and availability of highly performing clustering software implementations enables cost-effecti...
