    摘要: A uniform-density layout problem requires an optimal layout of multiple elements in a predetermined region under a set of conditions including a density-uniformization condition. The method determines an optimal solution to the problem and comprises the steps of: (a) obtaining an initial layout of the multiple elements in the predetermined region; (b) generating a linear combination of a first objective function, which represents the remaining conditions other than the density-uniformalization condition, and a second objective function, which represents the density-uniformalization condition, as a third objective function, which is assumed to represent the set of conditions of the problem; and (c) optimizing the third objective function by executing an iterative-improvement algorithm on the third objective function using the initial layout as an initial solution. The invention is especially useful to determine a layout of multiple circuit elements in designing LSI circuits and the like.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a technique relating to a method of processing a layout optimization problem. In connection with an element layout optimization problem in which it is requested to optimally arrange a plurality of elements within a space of two or more dimension, a first algorithm executing step is carried out. In this step, when information concerning the state of initial layout of the plurality of elements is available, a genetic algorithm is executed, thereby reducing non-uniformity in density of the plurality of elements staying in the initial layout. Subsequently, a second algorithm executing step is executed. In this step, when there are input data regarding the state of layout unbalance reduction halfway stage of the plurality of elements after reduction of non-uniformity in density in the first algorithm executing step, a local layout unbalance reducing algorithm is executed, thereby further reducing non-uniformity in density of the plurality of elements staying in the layout unbalance reduction halfway stage. As a result, the layout optimization problem of optimally arranging the plurality of elements in a space is processed. In this way, an element layout optimization problem of large scale is also processed.

    摘要: A problem solving operation apparatus obtains an optimum solution for a given problem through a combined use of a plurality of optimum solution search techniques of a genetic algorithm, and other search techniques like a hill climbing method. A combination of the optimum solution search techniques applied to each of a group of solution candidates varies according to each state. When a search efficiency in a single state is lowered, the problem solving operation apparatus immediately causes a state transition to the next state, thus enabling a search of an optimum solution through the use of another combination of more efficient optimum solution search techniques. Because a state transition constantly maintains a high search efficiency, this problem solving operation apparatus can reach an optimum solution in a short amount of time.

    摘要: A problem solver apparatus for solving optimization problems, which finds better solutions at a higher speed by utilizing both genetic algorithms and OR-based techniques. When an optimization problem is given to the problem solver apparatus, a searching strategy optimization unit creates a population of individuals using a genetic algorithm. Each individual has a chromosome to indicate a solution searching strategy. Upon receipt of such a population, a solution searching unit searches for solutions according to the strategies respectively indicated by the chromosomes of the individuals, thus obtaining candidate solutions. This group of candidate solutions is returned to the searching strategy optimization unit. The searching strategy optimization unit calculates fitness values of respective candidate solutions in the received candidate group. The searching strategy optimization unit applies some genetic operators to the individuals, thereby producing a new generation population. The produced new generation population is directed to the solution searching unit to perform another search. The problem solver apparatus repeats the above procedure until the candidate solutions show some acceptable fitness values. Lastly, the fittest candidate solution is chosen as the final solution of the optimization problem.
