Abstract
In this work, we propose a cooperative multi-thread parallel tabu search heuristic for the circuit partitioning problem. This procedure is based on the cooperation of multiple search threads. Each thread implements a different variant of a sequential tabu search algorithm, using a different combination of initial solution algorithm and move attribute definition. These threads communicate by exchanging elite solutions. PVM and Linda are used in the implementation of the parallel tabu search procedure. Numerical results reported for a set of ISCAS benchmark circuits illustrate the effectiveness of the parallel tabu search procedure. Comparative results illustrating the efficiency of the implementations in PVM and Linda are also assessed.KeywordsVirtual MachineTabu SearchVehicle Route ProblemTabu ListTabu Search AlgorithmThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
