Gabriel Gouvine 6a6def8252 Cleanup to enable routing-driven placement 2015-04-20 15:29:40 +02:00
Gabriel Gouvine ef671cb944 Initial draft for routing-driven placement
* Uses density restrictions rather than cell inflation
* Will fail brutally if the congestion is too high; does not attempt to balance the densities

Jean-Paul Chaput 393b5a735f Remove simulated annealing placer Nimbus/Metis/Mauka. 2015-03-17 22:50:00 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 8566126acc Adding Configuration support to Etesian.
* Change: In Bootstrap & ccb, the coloquinte project is renamed into
    "importeds", it will be the home of all the externally
    devellopped softwares that are needed to build Coriolis.
      Add explicit support for Fedora ("Linux.fc") and uses
    site-packages, as everybody else.
* New: In CRL Core, in etc/, adds the configuration files for Etesian.
* New: In Etesian, activate the Configuration object. Now uses it's
    own configuration variables instead of borrowing those of
    Nimbus & Mauka.
* Change: In Documentation, updated User's Guide to present Etesian
    as the placer, instead of Mauka.
* Change: In Cumulus, slight change in ClokTreePlugin and ChipPlugin
    to match the new Etesian/Python interface.

Jean-Paul Chaput b18219d807 Integration of the latest Coloquinte in Etesian & misc modifs.
* New: In Bootstrap, in Builder & coriolisEnv.py support for RHEL7/SL7.
    The sub-directory name is 'el7_64'.
      In qt_setup() add QtSvg to list of Qt5 & Qt4 used libraries.
* New: In Hurricane, In Cell add a placeholder for flags. First use to
    store whether the Nets have been transhierarchically flatteneds.
* New: In Hurricane, In NetRoutingState add an Unconnected flag for
    more accurate diagnosis.
* New: Hurricane, in CellViewer add an entry menu for stress tests.
    The script must be named "stressScript.py" in the cwd.
* Change: In CRL Core, in display.conf add a scaling parameter for the
    display threhold of the layer. This way we can adapt to different
    standard cells height.
* Change: In CRL Core, in ISPD05 bookshelf loader, use the pitch of the
    cell gauge instead of a hard-wired 5.0.
* Change: In Cumulus, in ClockTreePlugin, add support for Etesian placer
    and a new configuration parameter to choose between Mauka/Etesian.
* New: In Etesian, support for the latest Coloquinte.
    Add feed insertion stage.
* Bug: In Kite, In BuildPowerRails, check that _ck is not NULL before
    tring to access it's name...
* Change: In Kite, check if the Cell has it's Nets flattened before
    doing it (or not).

Jean-Paul Chaput 4842f21a2e Update to Qt 5, requires cmake 2.8.9. New placer: Etesian.
Update to Qt 5:
* Change: Now requires at least cmake 2.8.9.
* Change: CMakeLists.txt needs small changes. Qt modules must be found
    one by one (Core, Gui, Widgets). Must add "set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)"
    in the top file and replace "qt4" prefix in macros by "qt5".
    Added simpler macro "setup_qt()" in FindBootstrap.cmake.
* Change: No longer need to include <QGtkStyle> is is choosen by default
    according to the current desktop environment.
* Change: In <hurricane>, In HApplication, launch ExceptionWidget when
    a std::exception is catched instead of silently discarting it.

New placer Tool: Etesian
* New: <etesian> analytical placer. Encapsulate Coloquinte from
   Gabriel Gouvine.
* New: in <documentation>, add stub demonstration ToolEngine <smurf>.
   Needs to be commented.

Miscellaneous:
* New: in <boostrap> and <unicorn>, added support for Etesian, the new
    analytic placer. The tool itself will be added in the next commit.
* Bug: in <CellWidget>, when shifting the display buffer, we no longer
    can copy the buffer on itself (we should never have). Now go through
    a temporary one (PlaneId::AutoCopy) which is added to the
    DrawingPlanes. Affect "goLeft()" and "goUp()".
* Bug: In <CellWidget>, remove the WA_PaintOnScreen flag/attribute.
    When it's on, no PaintEvent is transmitted to the CellWidget
    when it's the central widget of the <CellViewer> (QMainWindow).
    It's something I still don't understand from the doc of Qt.
* Change: In <AreaCommand>, use the PlaneId enumeration instead of a
    anonymous numerical index.
* Change: In <HApplication>, no longer catch and silently discard
    standartd exceptions but launch the ExceptionWidget...
    Suppress the now deprecated constructor with "Type" argument.
* Change: In <SelectionModel>, the "reset()" method is deprecated in
    Qt5, instead enclose the "clear()" by a "beginResetModel()" and
    "endResetModel()" pair.
* New: In <crlcore>, add support for ISPD05 benchmarks (in Bookshelf
    format). Forked from ISPD04 and not finished yet.
* Change: In <Mauka>, distinguish the Action string identifier from
    <Etesian>
* New: In <unicorn>, add entry for ISPD05 loader. Add entry for
    <Etesian> analytic placer.

Jean-Paul Chaput f6ab7b87f0 Compliance with g++ 4.8.1, support for devtoolset-2
Details:
* New: in <bootstrap>: add support for devtoolset-2 in ccb. Run the
    cmake commands through 'scl', set shell environment variables
    BOOST_INCLUDEDIR & BOOST_LIBRARYDIR and disable the default
    system path search.
* Change: In various flex scanners add the %nounput to suppress
    compiler warnings.
* Change: Little cleanup for g++ 4.8.1 as it's more strict.
* Change: In various top CMakeLists.txt, suppress extraneous '/'
    after DESTDIR.

Jean-Paul Chaput 14a5f5f7ef Documentation restructuration
Documentation restructuration:
* Bug: in <hurricane>: bad figure for transf-R1.
* Change, in <kite>: Remove deprecated configuration variables.
* New: documentation <tool> to regroup all documentation not directly
  related to one tool.
* Change, in <crlcore>, move the user's guide and the top doc index
  into <documentation>.
* New, in <documenation>: added Python script demo based on AM2901.

Jean-Paul Chaput c0b999241f Re-added support for Chams & CMake support for Git hash retreival.
Details:
* Change, in build.conf: re-added support for the newly migrated Chams
    project.
* Bug, in bootstrap/../Project.py: the tool by tool compilation was
    not working. Now it does (argument "--tool").
* New, in boostrap/../cmake_modules: support for retreiving the Git
    hash number (SHA1). Borrowed on the net from (kudos):
      Ryan Pavlik <rpavlik@iastate.edu>

Jean-Paul Chaput 34e0edfd61 Cleanup after SVN importation, <ccb> builder script adaptation.
Project hierarchy reorganisation:
* With svn, we were doing a tool by tool checkout, suppressing the
  whole repository hierarchy level.
* The tools were also grouped, inside one repository, into multiple
  projects (<bootstrap>, <vlsisapd>, <coriolis>).
* We do not want to split up each tool into a separate repository,
  given their tight integration (except for vlsisapd).
* We choose to simplify, and consider all tools in a svn repository
  one project. Due to the way Git clone repositories, the directory
  containing the project is now to be seen under "src/".

CMake modifications:
* Now that the <vlsisapd> and <bootstrap> projects are merged into
  coriolis, modificate the top CMakeLists.txt of each tool to uses
  only Coriolis (and bootstrap hard wired).

CCB compile script modifications:
* Uses the new source tree hierarchy, with the project directory
  inserted.
* Remove (comment) all parts relateds to svn managment.
* Git is sufficiently simple so that we do not want to integrate
  command shortcut into the script.

SVN cleanup:
* Remove the obsolete <chamsin> tool, that has become the full fledged
  <chams> project long time ago.

Jean-Paul Chaput b99ccda839 * ./bootstrap:
- New: Complete rewrite of builCoriolis.py & merge with easyChams to provide
        a graphical interface. Asides to the GUI, when run in graphic mode all
        settings are kept from run to run. Meaning that once the initial setup
        is done, a user may completly forget where things are... The new tool
        is named <ccb> for 'Coriolis & Chams Builder'.
          The Builder is now a module, that is split into multiples files.
        The old buildCoriolis.py is kept for the time beeing to ensure a smooth
        transition.
