Final Optimization Problem Definition

After all required command items have been defined, the final optimization problem definition can be carried out using the <OPTIMIZE> command.

The <OPTIMIZE> command basically references a set of other command items that collectively define the optimization problem: 


<OPTIMIZE>
  <ID_NAME>my_optimization</ID_NAME>
  <DV>my_design_cells</DV>
  <OBJ_FUNC>my_objective</OBJ_FUNC>
  <OPT_PARAM>my_opt_params</OPT_PARAM>
  <ALGO_SET_TOPO_OC>my_algo_set</ALGO_SET_TOPO_OC>
  <STOP>my_stop_cond</STOP>
</OPTIMIZE>

Note: Commands like <DRESP> or <FLOWPATHS>, for example, that are already referenced within a command must not be referenced in the <OPTIMIZE> command. For a detailed description of the parameter file command syntax and semantic, refer to the Commands Manual.
