摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide for a method and apparatus to partition high fanout nets into smaller subnets. Said method includes the steps of identifying elementary pairs of pins in the net, each such elementary pair defining a line; eliminating lines such that a planar graph is formed; eliminating further lines such that a spanning tree is formed, said spanning tree connecting each pin in the net; identifying basic elements, each basic element forming a portion of said spanning tree; and constructing a connected cover for said net, said connected cover comprising a plurality of said basic elements. Said elementary pairs are identified by determining for each pin in said net a relative x-coordinate and a relative y-coordinate, constructing for each pin a combined binary coordinate as a function of the pin's relative x-coordinate and relative y-coordinate, ordering the pins in accordance with their respective combined binary coordinates, iteratively combining the pins until one pin remains, and iteratively expanding the pins.

摘要: Net routing is optimized in an integrated circuit device by dividing an integrated circuit design with a first group of substantially parallel lines in a first direction and with a group of substantially parallel lines in a second direction, with the second direction being substantially perpendicular to the first direction. A first routing graph is formed with vertices corresponding to locations where lines in the first direction and lines in the second direction cross, and nets are globally routed as a function of the first routing graph. The integrated circuit design is further subdivided with a second group of substantially parallel lines in the first direction, and a second routing graph is formed with vertices corresponding to locations where lines in the first and second groups of substantially parallel lines in the first direction cross lines in the group of substantially parallel lines in the second direction. For a net globally routed using the first routing graph, a first local net is formed in a first fragment of the second routing graph, and the first local net is rerouted within the first fragment by computing edge penalty values for edges in the first fragment and rerouting the first local net as a function of the edge penalty values.

摘要: Nets are routed on an integrated circuit device by dividing a portion of the integrated circuit device into a first group of tiles. A first routing graph is then formed as a function of the first group of tiles and nets are routed as a function of the first routing graph. A new group of tiles is formed by dividing the tiles of the first group of tiles, a new routing graph is formed as a function of the new group of tiles, and nets are rerouted as a function of the new routing graph. The steps of the preceding sentence are then repeated and each time a new group of tiles is formed, the tiles are divided in a same first dimension, resulting in tiles have progressively smaller lengths in that first dimension, while the size of the tiles in a second dimension does not change.
