| Abstract(in English) | This paper proposes a parallel floorplanning algorithm for VLSI floorplanning, which was based on genetic algorithm (GA) and tabu search (TS). The proposed method consists of three phases. In the first phase, solutions were globally searched by GA on each PC independently. In the second pahse, from good solutions found in the first phase, further search was performed based on GA in each PC, with interchanging solutions among PCs. In the last phase, TS was executed in each PC to improve the best solutions found in the second phase to get a final solution. The proposed method was implemented with the MPI (Message Passing Interface) library on a PC cluster. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method. |
