Abstract

Abstract : The technology grows quickly in the area of the VLSI physical design; it is crucial to integrate the greater number of transistors and parts into a very small range. Before the placement is completed, the physical and technical positioning of the blocks in the chip area is planned, which is nothing but floor planning. In order to lessen the placement region in the physical layout, floor planning must be carried out effectively. This paper proposes a blended harmony search and particle swarm optimization (BHSPS) algorithm which is the deliberate blend of the harmony search (HS) algorithm, and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed to acquire the central goal of the VLSI placement strategy. The objective here is to lessen the field of plan. The MATLAB code for the blended harmony search and particle swarm optimization (BHSPS) algorithm is compiled, and investigations were carried out for better examination through the standard MCNC, i.e., North Carolina Microelectronics Center benchmark circuits.
