چکیده
Achim G. Ho mann University of New South Wales School of Cumputer Science and Engineering P.O. Box 1, Kensington, Sydney, NSW 2033, Australia Abstract A new strategy for layout synthesis is presented. The GGADS system which uses the strategy has been implemented and is capable of designing layouts for congurable gate array master structures. GGADS evaluates the e ectiveness of layouts on gate array master. Hence, it supports the development of special purpose gate array master structures. Furthermore, GGADS is suitable to layout circuits which are not tractable by library-based approaches, e.g. ECL logic.

A NEW MEMETIC SWARM OPTIMIZATION FOR SPECTRAL LAYOUT DESIGN OF BRACED FRAMES
For most practical purposes, true topology optimization of a braced frame should be synchronized with its sizing. An integrated layout optimization is formulated here to simultaneously account for both member sizing and bracings’ topology in such a problem. Code-specific seismic design spectrum is applied to unify the earthquake excitation. The problem is solved for minimal structural weight un...

This paper discusses the development of a new GA for layout design. The GA was already designed and reported. However the implementation used in the earlier work was rudimentary and cumbersome, having no suitable Graphical User Interface, GUI. This paper discusses the intricacies of the algorithm and the GA operators used in previous work. It also reports on implementation of a new GA operator ...
متن کاملIntegrative Cell Formation and Layout Design in Cellular Manufacturing Systems
This paper proposes a new integrative view of manufacturing cell formation and both inter-cell and intra-cell layout problems. Cells formation and their popular bi-directional linear layout are determined simultaneously through a Dynamic Programming algorithm (with the objective of minimizing the inter-cell flow cost under a cell size constraint). This Dynamic Programming algorithm is implement...
متن کاملTestability Enhancement of a Basic Set of Cmos Cells
Testing should be evaluated as the ability of the test patterns to cover realistic faults, and high quality IC products demand high quality testing. We use a test strategy based on physical design for testability (to discover both open and short faults, which are difficult or even impossible to detect). Consequentially, layout level design for testability (LLDFI') rules have been developed, whi...
