Abstract
A new self-organizing neural network model is presented, which can get rid of some fatal defects facing the Kohonen self-organizing neural network, known as the slow training speed, difficulty in designing neighboring zone, and disability to deal with area constraints directly. Based on the new neural network, a new approach for performance-driven system partitioning on MCM is presented. In the algorithm, the total routing cost between the chips and the circle time are both minimized, while satisfying area and timing constraints. The neural network has a reasonable structure and its training speed is high. The algorithm is able to deal with the large scale, circuit partitioning, and has total optimization effect. The algorithm is programmed with Visual C++ language, and experimental result shows that it is an effective method.
