Abstract:Cell placement in VLSI design is an NP-complete problem. In this paper, we have tried to solve the standard cell placement problem using the Hopfield neural network model. Furthermore, a new system of coupled recurrent neural networks, which was designed to eliminate the drawbacks of the Hopfield neural network, is introduced. The performance of Hopfield networks with discrete and graded neurons is also investigated. The energy function corresponding to the chosen representation is given and the weight matrix… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
