Abstract :
This paper presents a new approach of data pipelining for mincut partitioning acceleration using a parallel computer. We choose the hardware CAD accelerator TP5000 to implement our approach. We obtain a speed improvement of 20 to 25 times as fast as a SPARCStation-10 by using 10 processors in the TP5000
