Abstract

The authors investigate modifications on the standard simulated annealing method for circuit placement that are intended to make it more suitable for shared-memory highly parallel computers. By permitting temporary errors and using chaotic approaches they allow the parallel algorithms to deviate from the algorithm as defined for a serial computer and obtain good execution efficiencies for large numbers of processors. They find that the qualitative behavior of the parallel algorithms is comparable to the serial algorithm.
