Abstract:
Floorplanning is a crucial step in very large scale integration design flow. It provides valuable insights into the hardware decisions and estimates a floorplan with different cost metrics. In this paper, to handle a multi objective thermal-aware non-slicing floorplanning optimization problem efficiently, an adaptive hybrid memetic algorithm is presented to optimize the area, the total wirelength, the maximum temperature and the average temperature of a chip. In the proposed algorithm, a genetic search algorithm is used as a global search method to explore the search space as much as possible, and a modified simulated annealing search algorithm is used as a local search method to exploit information in the search region. The global exploration and local exploitation are balanced by a death probability strategy. In this strategy, according to the natural mechanisms, each individual in the population is endowed with an actual age and a dynamic survival age. Experimental results on the standard tested benchmarks show that the proposed algorithm is efficient to obtain floorplans, with decreasing the average and the peak temperature.
