  • Abstract
    A new genetic algorithm for the macro cell placement problem is presented. The algorithm is based on a generalization of the two-dimensional bin packing problem. The genetic encoding of a macro cell placement and the corresponding genetic operators are described. The algorithm has been tested on MCNC benchmarks and the quality of the produced placements is comparable to the best published results
