Maninder Kaur, Kawaljeet Singh . Soft Computing Approach for digital Circuit Layout based on Graph Partitioning. International Journal of Computer Applications. 15, 1 ( February 2011), 35-39. DOI=10.5120/1911-2546
Soft computing based approaches are increasingly being used to solve different NP complete problems, the development of efficient parallel algorithms for digital circuit partitioning, circuit testing, logic minimization and simulation etc. is currently a field of increasing research activity. This paper describes evolutionary based approach for solving circuit-partitioning problem. That implies dividing a circuit into non-overlapping sub circuits while minimizing the number of cuts after the division and balancing the load associated to each one. The paper shows the effective partitioning for achieving peak chip performance and reducing the cost and time of the design and manufacturing process.
