چکیده

Parallel algorithms based on stochastic hill-climbing and parallel algorithms based on simple elements of a genetic algorithm for the one-sided bipartite crossing number problem, used in row-based vlsi layout, were investigated. These algorithms were run on a pvm cluster. The experiments show that the parallel approach does not bring faster computation but it does, however, much more importantly, bring a better quality solution to the problem, i.e. it generates drawings with lower numbers of pairwise edge crossings.

Two Strategies Based on Meta-Heuristic Algorithms for Parallel Row Ordering Problem (PROP)

Proper arrangement of facility layout is a key issue in management that influences efficiency and the profitability of the manufacturing systems. Parallel Row Ordering Problem (PROP) is a special case of facility layout problem and consists of looking for the best location of n facilities while similar facilities (facilities which has some characteristics in common) should be arranged in a row ...

Sequential and parallel algorithms for low-crossing graph drawing

The oneand two-sided bipartite graph drawing problem alms to find a layout of a bipartite graph, with vertices of the two parts placed on parallel imaginary lines, that has the minimum number of edge-crossings. Vertices of one part are in fixed positions for the one-sided problem, whereas all vertices are free to move along their lines in the two-sided version. Many different heuristics exist f...

Comparison of Selection Methods for Evolutionary Optimization

Selection is an essential component of evolutionary algorithms, playing an important role especially in solving hard optimization problems. Most previous studies on selection have focused on more or less ideal properties based on asymptotic analysis. In this paper, we address the selection problem from a more practical point of view by considering solution quality achievable within acceptable t...

A hybrid CS-SA intelligent approach to solve uncertain dynamic facility layout problems considering dependency of demands

This paper aims at proposing a quadratic assignment-based mathematical model to deal with the stochastic dynamic facility layout problem. In this problem, product demands are assumed to be dependent normally distributed random variables with known probability density function and covariance that change from period to period at random. To solve the proposed model, a novel hybrid intelligent algo...

Optimal Layout Design for Agricultural Facility Using Simulated Annealing

In this study, optimal layout design approach was used to solve problems related to site layout design of agricultural facilities such as refrigeration house, grading and packing house and warehouse. A basic program to support the rational construction of such facilities using Simulated Annealing (SA), one heuristic algorithm and one solution for combinatorial optimization problems, was coded i...
