Fast analysis of a large-scale inductive interconnect by block-structure-preserved macromodeling by Tan, Sheldon X. D., Yu, Hao, Chu, Chunta Lei He, Shi, Yiyu, Smart, David, He, Lei

“…This enables us to efficiently build and simulate the macromodel within a SPICE-like circuit simulator. Experiments show that our method achieves up to 7× faster modeling building time, up to 33× faster simulation time, and as much as 67× smaller waveform error compared to SAPOR [a second-order reduction based on nodal analysis (NA)] and PACT (a first-order 2×2 structured reduction based on modified NA).…”

Efficient FPGA realization of inner-products of variable vectors by Yan, Yi

“…However, this method will increase the usage of LUTs (lookup tables) and Register slices. DA (Distributed arithmetic) has been widely used for implementation of inner-products, and the proposed design introduced in this report is a novel time efficient flexible solution for bit-parallel DA-based implementation of inner-product of variable vectors. …”

A memetic approach to vehicle routing problem with dynamic requests by Mańdziuk, Jacek, Żychowski, Adam

“…Another key factor in accomplishing high quality results is attributed to the proposed effective mechanism of knowledge transfer between partial solutions developed in consecutive time slices. While particular problem encoding and memetic local optimization scheme were already presented in the literature, the novelty of this work lies in their innovative combination into one synergetic system as well as their application to a different problem than in the original works.…”
