Synopsis

Genetic algorithms mimic the natural process of evolution, helping engineers optimize their designs by keeping the "fittest" code and weeding out the most inefficient. VLSI is especially well-suited to benefiting from genetic algorithms -- and this thorough, practical tutorial shows you how to get the best results, fast.KEY TOPICS:Learn how genetic algorithms work and how you can use them in a wide variety of VLSI design, layout, and test automation tasks. Master specific techniques for working with genetic algorithms in partitioning, automatic standard cell and macro cell placement, routing, technology mapping for FPGAs, automatic test generation, peak power estimation, and more -- each with detailed examples you can adapt to your own design challenges. Discover how genetic algorithms are being incorporated into leading commercial electronic design automation tools such as Verilog and VHDL. With this book, you can start leveraging the major performance improvements genetic algorithms offer, with expert help and as little complexity as possible.MARKET:All electrical engineers working in VLSI design, as well as other professionals interested in practical applications for genetic algorithms.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Genetic algorithms mimic the natural process of evolution, helping engineers optimize their designs by using the principle of "survival of the fittest." VLSI is especially suited to benefit from genetic algorithms - and this comprehensive book shows you how to get the best results, fast. You'll discover how genetic algorithms work and how you can use them in a wide variety of VLSI design, layout, and test automation tasks, including:

• Circuit partitioning
• Macro cell routing, including Steiner problems and global routing
• Standard cell and macro cell placement
• Circuit segmentation,FPGA mapping and pseudo-exhaustive testing
• Automatic test generation including compaction, eterministic/genetic test hybrids and integration of finite state machine sequences
• Peak power estimation

You'll find essential insights into problem encoding and fitness functions; coverage of advanced parallel implementations; and much more. Specific experimental results are presented for every application - as are detailed problem descriptions and easy-to-adapt examples.

Genetic algorithms are already being incorporated into leading electronic design automation systems. Leverage their full power now - with Genetic Algorithms For VLSI Design, Layout, and Test Automation.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book provides details about some of the EDA applications where GAs have been used. These applications include partitioning, automatic placement and routing, technology mapping for FPGAs, automatic test generation, and power estimation. One chapter is devoted to each of these topics. The objective is to provide examples where GAs have been successfull applied in the past so that the reader will be able to apply similar techniques in solving his/her own problems.
