Multi-objective optimization of analog integrated circuit placement hierarchy in absolute coordinates

作者：

Highlights：

• Innovative multi-objective optimization of analog integrated circuit placement.

• Optimal constraint handling due to the use of absolute coordinates.

• Pareto fronts are combined hierarchically to reduce the problem complexity.

• An enhanced version of the well-known AMOSA algorithm is proposed.

• Compete with most recent topological representations on the MCNC benchmarks.
