Simulated annealing based standard cell placement for VLSI designs has long been acknowledged as a compute-intensive process, and as a result several research efforts have been un...
Genetic Algorithms have worked fairly well for the VLSI cell placement problem, albeit with significant run times. Two parallel models for GA are presented for VLSI cell placemen...
