Abstract :
This paper presents application of nature inspired algorithms for solving an industrial problem of power delivery network design. To achieve the target impedance in a power delivery network, optimum number of decoupling capacitors and their optimum locations on board are found from thousands of available capacitors. S-parameters based data is used for the accurate analysis. Three natural computing algorithms - Particle Swarm Optimization, Cuckoo Search and Firefly Algorithm are used and compared for solving this problem.
