*4.9. DN*2*PCIoT after Approaches*

The last approach corresponds to the execution of the proposed DN2PCIoT starting from partitionings obtained by the other approaches considered in this work. Thus, four experiments were performed in this approach: DN2PCIoT after per layers, DN2PCIoT after greedy, DN2PCIoT after *iRgreedy*, and DN2PCIoT after METIS. This approach also allows the partitionings to employ fewer devices than the maximum number of devices allowed in each experiment. It is worth noting that no other approach in this paper can start from a partitioning obtained by another algorithm and try to improve the solution based on this initial partitioning.
