Abstract

We explore modifications to the standard simulated annealing method for circuit placement which make it more suitable for use on a shared-memory parallel computer. By employing chaotic approaches we allow the parallel algorithms to deviate from the algorithm defined for a serial computer and thus obtain good execution efficiencies for large numbers of processors. The qualitative behavior of the parallel algorithms is comparable to that of the serial algorithm.
