Simulated Annealing Approach to Evaluation of Maximum Number of Simultaneous Switching Gates

  • Published : 2000.07.01

Abstract

This paper presents a new approach to evaluate the maximum number of simultaneous switching gates of a given combinational circuit. The new approach is based on an iterative method proposed by Sinogi et al. and applies a simulated annealing strategy to search jot a new solution. The experimental evaluation using ISCAS’85 benchmark circuits shows that the proposed approach has attained an excellent improvement compared with other rotated methods including the iterative method.
