DISCRETE AND CONTINUOUS SIZING OPTIMIZATION OF LARGE-SCALE TRUSS STRUCTURES USING DE-MEDT ALGORITHM
Design optimization of structures with discrete and continuous search spaces is a complex optimization problem with lots of local optima. Metaheuristic optimization algorithms, due to not requiring gradient information of the objective function, are efficient tools for solving these problems at a reasonable computational time. In this paper, the Doppler Effect-Mean Euclidian Distance Threshold ...
متن کاملPower Minimization by Simultaneous Dual-Kh Assignment and Gate-sizing
Gate-sizing is an effective technique to optimize CMOS circuits for dynamic power dissipation and performance while dual-V,h (threshold voltage) CMOS is ideal for leakage power reduction in low voltage circuits. This paper focuses on simultaneous dual-V,h assignment and gate-sizing t o minimize the total power dissipation while maintaining high performance. An accurate power dissipation model t...
متن کاملLARTTE: A Posynomial-Based Lagrangian Relaxation Tuning Tool for Fast and Effective Gate-Sizing and Multiple Vt Assignment
In this paper, we propose a novel method for fast and effective gate-sizing and multiple Vt assignment using Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) and posynomial modeling. Our algorithm optimizes a circuit’s delay and power consumption subject to slew rate constraints, and can readily take process variation into account. We first use SPICE to generate accurate delay and power models in posynomial form for...
متن کاملOptimal Gate Sizing with Multiple Vt Assignment using Generalized Lagrangian Relaxation
Simultaneous gate sizing with multiple Vt assignment for optimal delay and power is a complicated task in modern custom designs. In this work, we make the key contribution of a novel gate-sizing and multi-Vt assignment technique based on generalized Lagrangian Relaxation. Experimental results show that our technique has linear runtime and memory usage, and can optimally tune circuits with over ...
متن کاملDISCRETE SIZE AND DISCRETE-CONTINUOUS CONFIGURATION OPTIMIZATION METHODS FOR TRUSS STRUCTURES USING THE HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM
Many methods have been developed for structural size and configuration optimization in which cross-sectional areas are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. This paper proposes two efficient structural optimization methods based on the harmony search (HS) heuristic algorithm that treat both discret...
