  • Abstract
    A new genetic algorithm for channel routing in VLSI circuits is presented. It is based on a random path search in a lattice-like representation of the routing channel. The performance of the algorithm is tested on different benchmarks and it is shown that the results obtained using the proposed algorithm are either qualitatively similar to or better than the best published results
