Analog macrocell placement is an NP-hard problem. This paper presents an attempt to solve this problem by using the optimization flow of a genetic algorithm (GA) enhanced by simulated annealing (SA).

In a recent study published in Engineering, researchers have developed an exact algorithm for placement optimization in mixed-cell-height (MCH) circuits, addressing key challenges in modern ...

Subsequently, we compare the performance of hierarchical application placement method with that of a fully centralized algorithm. The results show that a solution, within 5% of the optimum placement ...

Research team proposed new data placement algorithms for scratch-pad memory (SPM) in embedded systems. Their fine-grained and multi-granularity algorithms effectively reduce data transfer and ...
