Evaluating the Kernighan-Lin heuristic for hardware/software partitioning

Zoltán Mann, András Orbán, Viktor Farkas (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In recent years, several heuristics have been proposed for the hardware/software partitioning problem. One of the most promising directions is the adaptation of the Kernighan-Lin algorithm. The Kernighan-Lin heuristic was originally developed for circuit partitioning, but it has been adapted to other domains as well. Moreover, numerous improvements have been suggested so that now several variants of the original algorithm exist. The aim of this paper is to systematically evaluate the...

Reservation table scheduling: branch-and-bound based optimization . integer linear programming techniques

Hadda Cherroun, Alain Darte, Paul Feautrier (2007)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

The recourse to operation research solutions has strongly increased the performances of scheduling task in the High-Level Synthesis (called hardware compilation). Scheduling a whole program is not possible as too many constraints and objectives interact. We decompose high-level scheduling in three steps. Step 1: Coarse-grain scheduling tries to exploit parallelism and locality of the whole program (in particular in loops, possibly imperfectly nested) with a rough view of the target...

Heuristic and metaheuristic methods for computing graph treewidth

François Clautiaux, Aziz Moukrim, Stéphane Nègre, Jacques Carlier (2004)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

The notion of treewidth is of considerable interest in relation to NP-hard problems. Indeed, several studies have shown that the tree-decomposition method can be used to solve many basic optimization problems in polynomial time when treewidth is bounded, even if, for arbitrary graphs, computing the treewidth is NP-hard. Several papers present heuristics with computational experiments. For many graphs the discrepancy between the heuristic results and the best lower bounds is still very...
