Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleParallel Memetic Algorithm for VLSI Circuit Partitioning Problem using Graphical Processing UnitsP. Subbaraj, P. SivakumarProblem statement: Memetic Algorithm (MA) is a form of population-based hybrid Genetic Algorithm (GA) coupled with an individual learning procedure capable of performing local refinements. Here we used genetic algorithm to explore the search space and simulated annealing as a local search method to exploit the information in the search region for the optimization of VLSI netlist bi-Partitioning problem. However, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 27 Feb 2012 · 7,090 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Enhanced Russell Measure of Super-Efficiency for Ranking Efficient Units in Data Envelopment AnalysisAli Ashrafi, Azmi Bin Jaafar, Lai Soon Lee, Mohd Rizam Abu BakarProblem statement: Conventional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) helps decision makers to discriminate between efficient and inefficient Decision Making Units (DMUs). However, DEA does not provide more information about the efficient DMUs. Super-efficiency DEA model can be used in ranking the performance of efficient DMUs. Because of the possible infeasibility of radial super-efficiency DEA model, the ranking has been limited to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 8,798 accessesView PDFCite
