Designing technical plants is a complex and demanding process. It has been shown that the optimization of the simple facility placement problem is already NP-hard. Optimization of...
In this paper, we present a new multi-packing tree (MP-tree) representation for macro placement to handle mixed-size designs. Based on binary trees, the MP-tree is very efficient,...
High-accuracy PDE solvers use multi-dimensional fast Fourier transforms. The FFTs exhibits a static and structured memory access pattern which results in a large amount of communic...
In high-performance VLSI circuits, the on-chip power densities are playing dominant role due to increased scaling of technology, increasing number of components, frequency and ban...
Simulated Evolution (SimE) is an evolutionary metaheuristic that has produced results comparable to well established stochastic heuristics such as SA, TS and GA, with shorter runti...
