Abstract
A parallel-processing algorithm for logic module placement is presented. A pairwise interchange algorithm, directed by the steepest-descent concept, is expanded to the parallel-processing case. By using an AAP (adaptive array processor), it is shown that an N-module placement problem can be processed in 0.06N of the time required by a sequential computer (1 MIPS).
