In this paper, we study the wire sizing and wire spacing problem for post-layout performance optimization under Elmore delay model. Both ground capacitance and coupled capacitance in a wire are included in interconnect delay calculation. Combined with general ASIC design flow, we construct section constraint graph in each routing region and use the graph to guide segment sizing and spacing. By ...

In this paper, we propose an efficient approach to design optimization of analog circuits that is based on the reinforcement learning method. In this work, Multi-Objective Learning Automata (MOLA) is used to design a two-stage CMOS operational amplifier (op-amp) in 0.25μm technology. The aim is optimizing power consumption and area so as to achieve minimum Total Optimality Index (TOI), as a new...

The features of bad flow unit continuity and multiple layers emphesize the importance of a well pattern design for the development of a fluvial-delta reservoir. It is proposed a method to predict well pattern connectivity (WPC) based on the exploration and evaluation of wells. Moreover, the method helps evaluate the risk of well placement. This study initially establishes the parameters for cha...

This paper studies interconnect sizing and spacing (ISS) problem with consideration of coupling capacitance for performance optimization of single or multiple critical nets. We introduce the formulation of symmetric and asymmetric wire sizing. We develop efficient bound computation algorithms for ISS optimization and prove their optimality under general interconnect resistance and capacitance m...

this paper presents a cuckoo optimization algorithm (coa) model for the cost optimization of the one-way and two-way reinforced concrete (rc) slabs according to aci code. the objective function is the total cost of the slabs including the cost of the concrete and that of the reinforcing steel. in this paper, one-way and two-way slabs with various end conditions are formulated as aci code. the t...

the paper studies optimization of shell-and-tube heat exchangers using the particle swarm optimization technique. a total cost function is formulated based on initial and annual operating costs of the heat exchangers. six variables – shell inside diameter, tube diameter, baffle spacing, baffle cut, number of tube passes and tube layouts (triangular or square) – are considered as the design para...

Affected by the high viscosity of crude oil, large injection-production well spacing, poor injection condition, and low oil recovery rate, overall development effect transition zone is poor, besides, produced degree utilization thin layer makes have some potential excavation. Under condition that current conventional measures to improve block are not clear, it necessary further optimize system....
