Cuckoo search (CS) was introduced by Xin-She Yang and Suash Deb in 2009, and it has attracted great attention due to its promising efficiency in solving many optimization problems and real-world applications. In the last few years, many papers have been published regarding cuckoo search, and the relevant literature has expanded significantly. This chapter summarizes briefly the majority of the literature about cuckoo search in peer-reviewed journals and conferences found so far. These references can be systematically classified into appropriate categories, which can be used as a basis for further research.

Cuckoo Search: A Brief Literature Review

Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm is nature inspired global optimization algorithm based on the brood parasitic behavior of cuckoos. It has proved to be an efficient algorithm as it has been successfully applied to solve a large number of problems of different areas. CS employs Levy flights to generate step size and to search the solution space effectively. The local search is carried out using switch probability in which certain percentages of solutions are removed. Though CS is an effective algorithm, still its performance can be improved by incorporating the exploration and exploitation during the search process. In this work, three modified versions of CS are proposed to improve the properties of exploration and exploitation. All these versions employ Cauchy operator to generate the step size instead of Levy flights to efficiently explore the search space. Moreover, two new concepts, division of population and division of generations, are also introduced in CS so as to balance the exploration and exploitation. The proposed versions of CS are tested on 24 standard benchmark problems with different dimension sizes and varying population sizes and the effect of probability switch has been studied. Apart from this, the best of the proposed versions is also tested on CEC 2015 benchmark suite. The modified algorithms have been statistically tested in comparison to the state-of-the-art algorithms, namely grey wolf optimization (GWO), differential evolution (DE), firefly algorithm (FA), flower pollination algorithm (FPA) and bat algorithm (BA). The numerical and statistical results prove the superiority of the proposed versions with respect to other popular algorithms available in the literature.

Cuckoo search (CS) is an efficient swarm-intelligence-based algorithm and significant developments have been made since its introduction in 2009. CS has many advantages due to its simplicity and efficiency in solving highly non-linear optimisation problems with real-world engineering applications. This paper provides a timely review of all the state-of-the-art developments in the last five years, including the discussions of theoretical background and research directions for future development of this powerful algorithm.

A comprehensive review of cuckoo search: variants and hybrids

The primary focus of this paper is to discuss the modeling of jitter caused by power supply noise (PSN), named power supply induced jitter (PSIJ). A holistic discussion is presented from the basics of power delivery networks to PSN and eventually to the modeling of PSIJ. The in-depth details and a review of several methodologies available in the literature for the estimation of PSIJ are presented.

A Review on Power Supply Induced Jitter

This paper presents RLC equivalent model of power plane for power distribution network (PDN) in high speed VLSI system consisting of package, board, and voltage regulator module. The frequency independent RLC equivalent model can be easily integrated in any SPICE compatible circuit simulator. SPICE simulation results of the proposed RLC models for regular and irregular power-ground plane pair have been extensively verified with full wave EM simulation results. The model shows good matching when compared with EM simulation results. The proposed SPICE model substantially reduces the CPU run time that requires only few seconds for which the EM solver would have taken several hours. Effects of different geometry and material of power plane on self-impedance profile have been analyzed.

In this paper, power supply induced jitter on clock lane is investigated under different Power Delivery Network configurations for a Low Power Double Data Rate system. Novelty of this paper is in the identification of best topology for sharing of power supplies between clock lane, command-address bus, and data bus at the system level consisting of input-output buffers ring, package and board.

CLOCK PSIJ Study under different PDN choices in LPDDR3 systems

FPGA based Implementation of Test and Debug Environment for High Speed Serial Links

A novel uniplanar electromagnetic band-gap structure to maintain power integrity by suppressing simultaneous switching noise is presented. The proposed EBG structure is having stop-band from 600 MHz to 5.3 GHz and can be used as power plane in high speed systems for minimizing the power noise. Suppression of resonant cavity modes of power plane by EBG structure is shown. Simulation results are verified by measurements and compared with the earlier published structures.
