On the Use of Genetic Algorithms in Generating Input Pairs That Cause the Maximum Power Consumption in Cmos Combinational Circuits
نویسنده
چکیده
We have been investigating on the generation of input pairs for combinational digital circuits that cause the maximum power consumption on them. This work shows the results we obtained using genetic algorithms (GA). We show a GA that runs almost in the same time that speed up simulated annealing algorithms and give better results than them for half of the ISCAS85 benchmark circuits.
