Jean-Paul Chaput 6d366a08bc Etesian integration with Chip & ClockTree plugins.
* New: In Hurricane, in DebugSession, add a new method to activate the
    trace inconditionally with a certain level.
* New: In Hurricane, in HyperNet, allow copy construction as there is
    no reason to disallow it and we need it now.
* New: In Hurricane, in Cell::flattenNets(), add a new option to prevent
    the flattening of the clock net(s). For more safety perform the
    DeepNet creation *outside* the Collection loop.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Cell_HyperNetRootNetOccurrences, skip the
    DeepNets because they are the result of another flattening operation.
* New: In Isobar, in PyBasicLayer, export C++ method getBlockageLayer().
* New: In Isobar, in PyRoutingGauge, export C++ method getLayerPitch(),
    needed by Cumulus plugins.
* New: In Etesian, EtesianEngine::findYSpin() to look for the Y orientation
    if some cells are already placed. Typically the buffers of a clock
    tree.
      Pass the correct orienation to row_compatible_orientation().
      Do not try to add feeds in the ISPD05 benchmarks. For now the
    benchmarks are detected through their names (unreliable).
* Change: In Knik, in KnikEngine::initGlobalRouting(), allow the clock
    to be routed as an ordinary signal when the clock tree is not
    used.
* New: In Kite, in BuildPowerRails, management & detection for the
    pre-routed clock.
      In KiteEngine constructor, early initialization of the blockage
    net to avoid later troubles in BuildPowerRails.
* New: In Cumulus, in ChipPlugin, add support for Etesian plus new
    configuration parameter 'clockTree.placerEngine' to select between
    Mauka and Etesian.
* New: In Cumulus, in BlockCorona, add blockages in the vertical sides
    in the vertical layer to prevent the router to use the vertical
    tracks in under the prower lines (for example, blockage in M3
    with power line M5).
      In Cumulus, in ChipConf add attribute to access the blockage net.
* New: In Cumulus, when the clock tree is disabled, do not generate
    the last rail around the block (the clock rail).
* Bug: In Cumulus, in ChipConf use the clock pad to guess the clock
    signals and *not* the power pad.
      Add more meaningful error messages if a pad global signal is
    not found (implicit connexion by name).
* Bug: In Cumulus, in ClockTree, compute correctly the cells Y spin,
    that is *from the bottom of the cell AB* (not from 'zero').

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 978315c017 Compliance with Clang 3.4 (RHEL7, MacOS).
* New: In Bootstrap, added support for RHEL7 in ccb.py & coriolisEnv.py.
   In coriolisEnv.py, under RHEL6, directly launch a shell under
   devtoolset-2 (do not put it in .bashrc).
* Change: All tools, compliance with Clang 3.2.
   - Call using namespace std *after* at least one include of std has
     been used.
   - In Utilities.h define both const and non-cont overload for operator<<
     of mstream (this was the true cause of the Banner display problem).
   - No longer use defaults arguments in templates, instead create two
     separated overloads.
   - Put template static attributes allocation outside of namespaces
     (this one I'm not sure how to justify).
   - Protect by NDEBUG variables that are only needed in assert().
   - In PyInterval getUnion() & getIntersection() we where silently
     overwriting the "self" object (interval).
   - In Mauka, *do no* overload _postCreate() and add an argument, breaks
     the virtual function mechanism. Rename it into _maukaPostCreate().
     Idem for SubRow().
   - In Katabatic::GCell(), invalidate() overload a Go funtion but is
     used for different purpose at this level. Rename it invalidateCt()
     (invalidate *ConTents*).
   - Miscellaneous small cleanup.

Jean-Paul Chaput b98e6a968a Kite, Pin are not pre-route, do not use _vdde when routing a block.
* Bug: In Kite, in KiteEngine::BuildPreRouteds(), Pin (sub-class of
    Contact) must not be considered as a component triggering the
    *already routed* state.
* Bug: In Kite, in BuildPreRouteds (GlobalNetTable), when de design
    is *not* a full chip, do not try to compare net with _vdde/_vsse.
2014-10-05 12:21:02 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput dbf87493eb In Kite, Segments where not rescheduled in some cases of moveUp().
* Bug: In Kite, in TrackSegment::_postDogleg() when called through
    TrackSegment::moveUp(), if no dogleg are created, that is the
    segment is "pivoted up" (for example a M3 connected to only
    M4 that is pivoted to M5), the segment was *not* rescheduled as
    it ough to be. The end result was a M5 in a M3 track...
* Change: In Kite, in Track::checkOverlaps() in case of further
    problems, also check that TrackSegments and Track are in the
    same layer.
2014-10-03 16:04:12 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput c244c9ce70 Group all the user configuration file under a ".coriolis/" directory.
* Change: In CRL Core, in coriolisInit.py now read the configuration
    files from a ".coriolis2/" directory. This is to avoid too many
    dot files in the user's directory. Files have also been renamed:
       .coriolis2.conf         ==>  .coriolis2/settings.conf
       .coriolis2_techno.conf  ==>  .coriolis2/techno.conf
* Change: In Kite, in kiteInit.py follow the same policy as CRL Core
    for configuration file.
       .coriolis2.kite.py      ==>  .coriolis2/kite.py
2014-09-27 17:40:35 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 1f9ae36554 Bug fixes for MOSIS SCMOS_DEEP support.
* Change: In Hurricane, the NetRoutingProperty is moved into Hurricane
    from Katabatic. Needed for Knik to be able to access thoses
    informations.
* Change: In Hurricane, in RoutingPad::setOnBestComponent(), now in
    case of identical area, select the component of lowest id.
    This should not be needed if the component ordering was fully
    deterministic as it should be (will investigate later).
      This is to ensure that the choosen component is always the
    same, especially between save/load of a global routing.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in AutoContactHTee::updateTopology(), invalidate
    the segments only if the topology is valid (no NULL in the
    cached segments).
* Bug: In Katabatic, in GCellTopology::construct(), throw an error
    if the topology is bad instead of trying to continue (and core
    dump later... ).
* Bug: In Kite, in BuildPowerRails, distinguish the name of the master
    net in the pad (for vddi, vssi, vdde, vsse, ck, cki & cko) and the
    name of the net in the *chip* netlist. Must use the later to make
    comparison as they may differs.
* Change: In Knik, in save/load solution, exclude nets that are not
    globally routed by Knik. That is which NetRoutingProperty is not
    *Automatic*.
* Bug: In Cumulus, in chip.BlockPower take account of the layer
    width extention to sligthy shrink the connector thus avoiding a
    notch with standart cell in some cases.
* Change: In Cumulus, in chip.ClockTree disable the use of fixed Steiner
    trees for the leaf clocks, as it seems overconstrained for the
    router. First move was to lower them in M2/M3 (instead of M3/M4)
    but that was not sufficent.
* New: In Cumulus, RSavePlugin for recursively saving a physical
    hierarchy.
* New: In documentation, first embryo for RDS file. Should have been
    in Alliance git, but I prefer to keep newest doc in Coriolis.
2014-09-21 16:44:37 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2c345c9033 Various improvement & bug correction in Katabatic & Kite.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in AutoContactTurn::cacheAttach() unset the
    "cache invalidated" flag *only* if the h1 & v1 component are
    sets. This is needed because we can attach *before* the first
    cache revalidation (in the initial building stage).
* Bug: In Katabatic, in AutoSegment::getPPitch() out of bound access
    of the top of the RoutingGauge, in case of a top layer segment
    with a spin top flag (maybe this shouldn't happen?).
* Change: In Kite, in SegmentFsm::conflictSolveByPlaceds() take
    account as conflicting other global, global, blockage *and*
    now fixeds.
* Change: In Cumulus, in px2mpx.py more accurate way of transforming
    the pad blockages.
2014-09-14 18:54:10 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a3963716b1 Correction in plugins to support msxlib compatible pads.
* New: In CRL Core, in helpers & alliance.conf, set and read a "PAD"
    variable to define the pad model name extension ("px" for "sxlib
    and "pxr" for vsxlib, this is provisional).
* New: In CRL Core, in plugin.conf, add parameters to define the name
    of used for power & clock supply. We may remove the extention in
    the future (to be more coherent with the previous modification).
* New: In Cumulus, in chip.Configuration.GaugeConf._rpAccess(), no
    longer place the accessing contact *at the center* of the
    RoutingPad. It works under sxlib because buffers & registers all
    have same size terminals. But this is not true under vsxlib,
    leading to misaligned contacts & wires. Now systematically place
    on the slice midlle track (maybe with one pitch above or below).
      This is still very weak as we do not check if the terminal
    reach were the contact is being put. Has to be strenthened in
    the future.
* New: In Cumulus, in chip.Configuration.ChipConf, read the new
    clock & power pad parameters.
* Change: In Isobar (and all other Python wrappers), uses PyLong instead
    of PyInt for DbU conversions. In PyHurricane argument converter,
    automatically check for both PyLong and then PyInt.
* Change: In Cumulus, in chip.PadsCorona, more accurate error message
    in case of discrepency in global net connections (i.e. no net
    of the same name in instance model and instance model owner.
* Change: In Kite, in BuildPowerRails, when looking up at the pads
    model name to find "pck_" or "pvddeck_", do not compare the
    extension part. But we still use hard-coded stem pad names,
    maybe we shouldn't.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in GCellConfiguration::_do_xG_xM1_xM3(), there
    was a loop in the search of the best N/E initial RoutingPad.
* Bug: In Kite, in KiteEngine::protectRoutingPads(), *do not* protect
    RoutingPads of fixed nets, they are already through the
    BuildPowerRails stage (and it's causing scary overlap warning
    messages).
* Bug: In Cumulus, in ClockTree.HTreeNode.addLeaf(), do not create
    deep-plug when the core is flat (not sub-modules). All the new
    nets are at core level.
* Bug: In Cumulus, in ChipPlugin.PlaceCore.doFloorplan(), ensure
    that the core is aligned on the GCell grid (i.e. the slice
    grid of the overall chip).
* Bug: In Kite, in GCellTopology::_do_xG_xM1_xM3(), infinite loop
    while looking for the bigger N-E RoutingPad. Forgot to decrement
    the index...

Jean-Paul Chaput f85159bdb4 More accurate error message in Python module importation. 2014-09-07 23:16:04 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 51a3236962 Add management of fixed wires to Kite (for chip ClockTree)
* Change: In Hurricane, in Plug::setNet(), more informative error messages.
* Change: In Hurricane, In Segment, more informative error messages.
* Change: In Hurricane, In DeepNet, accessor for the Net occurrence.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in AutoSegment::create(), error message uses correct
    variables (vertical was using horizontal)...
* Change: In Kite, in BuildPowerRails, already existing wiring in instances
    is copied up as blockage. Uses blockage layer instead of true layer
    (it was a bug).
* Change: In Kite, in BuildPreRouted, consider as manual global routing
    nets with only default wiring (default size wire & contacts).
    Non-default routing is flagged as fixed (with the NetRoutingState
    property).

Jean-Paul Chaput 6588902780 Correct edge capacity display in debug mode. 2014-08-03 16:38:57 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 09f515c62a Support for Windows/Cygwin, part 2.
* Change: In bootstrap, in ccb, builder and coriolisEnv.py, correct detection
    of the windows architecture (32 or 64 bits). Under Cygwin, add the
    directory of the dll into the PATH also. Uses "site-package" as the
    location of Python modules (*not* "dist-package").
      Use gnu++0x under Cygwin instead of c++11.
* Change: In Etesian, if Coloquinte is not found, do not stop the compilation,
    just disable the tool altogether.
* Change: In Hurricane, In Backtrace, disable backtrace under Cygwin as it
    uses features specific of the glibc.
* Change: In Knik, use HUGE_VAL instead of HUGE (not present under Cygwin),
    add the <cmath> header.
* Change: In Unicorn, Coloquinte no longer stops the compilation.
2014-07-23 00:55:50 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 520b9ae382 Restore support for both Qt4 & Qt5.
* Change: In bootstrap, in ccb & builder, build by default with Qt4 and
    provide a --qt5 command line switch to enable Qt5.
      FindBootstrap.cmake now provides a qtX_wrap_cpp() macros to be
    independant of the version of Qt being used.
      Add all thoses options to the graphical interface to the builder.
* Change: In all the tools using Qt, switch to the qtX_*() macros from
    FindBootstrap.cmake.
* Change: In Hurricane, in CellViewer, revert to the Qt4 way of connecting
    signal/slots for backward compatibility.
2014-07-22 11:06:26 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput d0d045b55b Starting to implement support for Windows/Cygwin.
* New: In all to CMakeLists.txt, disable the warning about deprecated
   WIN32 under cygwin.
* New: In boostrap, in ccb.py, coriolisEnv.py and builder/Configuration.py
   add recognition in uname for the values returned under Windows/Cygwin.
* New: In Documenation, in UsersGuide.rst add some informations about
   Cygwin and a section for the devel branch.
2014-07-13 13:14:49 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 0cced62851 Kite is now deterministic, given a global routing.
* Bug: In Kite, in TrackCost, the boolean attribute "_forGlobal" was not
    initialized in the constructor causing the non-deterministic behavior.
    Arrrrgggghhhhhh.
* Bug: In Kite, in PyKiteEngine, forgot to perform the
    "balanceGlobalDensity()" in the layer assign Python wrapper, another
    cause for non-determinism.
* Change: In Kite, In KiteEngine, print the configuration at the same
    point as in the python script (to get identical output).
2014-07-07 00:42:38 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput e29221274e Add a Python hook into Kite. Python support for DebugSession.
* New: In Isobar, export the DebugSession mechanism.
* New: In Kite, In KiteEngine, add the ability to run a Python script
    (hook) after the initialization of the KiteEngine.
2014-07-05 18:02:51 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2b243fc0ca In protectCagedTerminal() check that the METAL3 track is free.
* New: In Kite, in protectCagedTerminal(), check that the perpandicular
    top METAL3 track is free before inserting the fixed protection.
    They are added *after* the Pre-Routed stage and therefore we have
    to check they do not cross.
* Change: In Kite, in NegociateWindow, print statistics before fixing
    segment in the pre-routed stage to get correct results.
* Change, In CRL Core, in Measures when an addMeasure is performed
    twice, let the new data erase the previous one (instead of keeping
    the previous one).
2014-07-03 00:26:15 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 20d25b2053 Add NetRoutingState (Property) on Nets to tell Kite what to do.
* New: In Katabatic, add the ability to decorate some (i.e. few) nets
    with a state that indicate to Katabatic & Kite what to do with it.
    The possible states are:
    1. Fixed : all the wire are in fixed positions. The router cannot
       move them and account them as obstacles.
    2. ManualGlobalRoute : a user-defined topology is supplied. The
       wires still have to be detailed route in "Detailed Pre-Route"
       but will be skipped for the global routing and fixed for the
       general Detailed route.
    3. AutomaticGlobalRoute : ordinary nets, to be global routed then
       detail routed.
    4. Excluded : do not try to global or detail route thoses nets.
    5. MixedPreRoute : mask combining Fixed and ManualGlobalRoute.
      Not all nets have this property, only those that needs a special
    processing.
      To ease the access to the state, it is nested inside a
    PrivateProperty in the net (NetRoutingProperty), with an extension
    access class (NetRoutingExtension).
* New: In Kite, take account of NetRoutingState. Pointers to the
    net's states are strored inside an internal map for faster access.
    The property is *not* deleted when Kite is destroyed. The property
    will remains until the Net itself is destroyed.
      As a consequence, the lists that where passed to high level
    function are removed as the information can now be accessed directly
    through the net NetRoutingProperty.
* New: In Unicorn, in CgtMain, comply with the update interface.
* New: In documentation, update the User's Guide to explain the Pre-routed
    step of Kite.
2014-07-02 14:36:58 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 01b97626a8 Support for Python plugins in CellViewer/Unicorn. ClockTree plugin.
* New: In Hurricane, in CellViewer, create a simpler API to graft menu
    and actions into the menubar. Mainly addToMenu() which take care of
    the QAction creation but also locate the relevant QMenu, base on
    the Qt object name. Regroup all the widget & action creation inside
    the body of the constructor, this way almost all actions can be
    removed from the attributes of the CellViewer.
      addToMenu() is supplied in three flavors:
        1. For C++ callbacks in GraphicToolEngines (with a binded
           member function method).
        2. For running Python scripts to be used by the plugin system.
        3. To insert separator in menus (to give a more homogeneous
           look).
    Remove the last remnants of Stratus scripts (unificated with basic
    Python scripts).
* New: In Hurricane, in PyCellViewer, export the interface to graft
    Python scripts into the CellViewer menu tree.
* Change: In Etesian, in GraphicEtesianEngine, use the new API to
    graft menus & callbacks into the CellViewer.
* Change: In Mauka, in GraphicMaukaEngine, use the new API to
    graft menus & callbacks into the CellViewer.
* Change: In Kite, in GraphicKiteEngine, use the new API to
    graft menus & callbacks into the CellViewer.
* New: In Cumulus, install Python scripts as plugins for Unicorn under
    <PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES>/cumulus/plugins/.
* New: In Unicorn, in UnicornGui, make uses of the new API for creating
    menus in the CellViewer. Creates the stem menu for the P&R tools.
      Add a Python initialization mechanism to read the plugins
    installeds into <PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES>/cumulus/plugins/.
2014-06-25 19:50:34 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ff21d3c8a2 Implementation of pre-routing support (for clock-tree compliance).
* New: In Katabatic, in <AutoContact>, this class is no longer derived
    from ExtentionGo. With the simplificated AutoContacts, there is no
    reason to do so, and it will save some QuadTree insertions/deletions.
      New factory function AutoContact::createFrom(Contact*) which try to
    build an AutoContact on top of a Hurricane::Contact. Of course that
    base contact *must fit* into one of the predefined Contact
    configurations (Terminal, Turn, HTee or VTee).
      NOTE: This implies that the pre-routed segments & contacts *are*
    correctly articulated, which is not the case when a Cell is read
    from disk in "ap" format. The pre-routing feature must be used for
    now without any re-read from disk. We will implement a re-articulating
    pre-process in the future.
* Change: In Katabatic, in <AutoContact> derived classes, the ::updateCache()
    method now display an accurate error message if a segment is connected
    but has no AutoSegment conterpart (i.e. the lookup fails).
* New: In Katabatic, in <AutoSegment>, the ::computeOptimal() method is
    short-circuited for pre-routed segments, the optimal axis position is
    considered to be the one it is currently on (i.e. we trust the designer).
* New: In Katabatic, in <KatabaticEngine>, the ::loadGlobalRouting()
    method now accept a map of excluded nets (same as Knik). This map is
    the one of pre-routed nets.
* New: In Katabatic, in layer assignment, do not try to displace fixed
    segments...
* New: In Katabatic, in <AutoSegment>, new flag SegUserDefined and related
    methods to know if a segment comes from the global router (Knik) or
    is pre-routed (supplied by the user).
* New: In Kite, In <BuildPowerRails>, support (exclusion) for pre-routed
    nets.
* New: In Kite, In <GraphicKiteEngine> new menu entry for running the
    router on pre-routed nets ("Detailed Pre-Route"), also integrated
    in the all-on-one route command.
* New: In Kite, In KiteEngine, new method ::_initDataBase() that group
    all the initialisation steps. It is a mix of calls between Knik and
    Kite initializations which are intertwinneds (may have to devellop
    a shared common base at a later point). It creates the Knik grid,
    then the Katabatic grid, then load pre-routed wires and power rails
    and protect isolated RoutingPads.
      Add support for a map of pre-routed nets (to be excluded for
    Knik calls).
      The method "::run()" now uses function flags, firstly to know if
    it is managing pre-routed wires or general purposes ones.
* New: In Kite, in <NegociateWindow>, the "::run()" methods has now two
    modes. The normal one and the 'KtPreRoutedStage' that is for routing
    pre-routed nets. When in pre-route stage, the wires are fixed at the
    end of this step.
* New: In Kite, in <TrackElement> add decorator for AutoSegment
    isUsedDefined().
* New: In Kite, in <TrackSegment>, the various ::canDogleg() methods
    returns false for a pre-routed (user-defined segment).
* New: In Kite, in PyKiteEngine, added new method runNegociatePreRouted().
2014-06-21 20:16:47 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2a1c7e181e Express "xEdgeCapacity" ratio as "xTracksReservedLocal" a number of tracks.
* Change: In Kite, Katabatic & Knik, express the number of tracks truly
    available to the global router by the number of tracks reserved to
    the local routage inside a GCell. Replace the ratio parameter
    "hEdgeCapacity" by an integer parameter "hTracksReservedLocal"
    (duplicate for verticals).
      It is more explicit to give directly the number of tracks that
    are to be used locally, and potentially saves us from rouding
    problems when calculating the number of availables tracks.
      Note: we cannot do that for the layer saturateRatio as it
    uses the density ratio that take account local wires, leading
    to fractional results.
* Change: In Katabatic, in <GCellGrid>, rename checkEdgeSaturation()
    into checkEdgeOverflow(), more explicit.
* Change: In Knik, in <Graph>, display the computed capacities of the
    lower left node edges (should be the same througout all the grid).
* Change: In Unicorn, in <cgt.py>, uses the new parameters names for
    edge density.

Jean-Paul Chaput 6939025a0d Correction of SoC.css, adjust the look of the class index big letters. 2014-06-10 00:04:48 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput cd9d3fc4b6 ExtensionCap support and source/target terminal flags in Katabatic & Kite.
Placement management:
* Change: In <metis>, always disable the hMetis support regardless of
    it being detected or not as the placer is still unable manage the
    final bin contents.

Routing gauge management:
* Bug: In CRL Core, <vsclib/alliance.conf>, set the correct pitches and
    size for the routing layers and the cell gauge.
* Change: In Katabatic & Kite, extract the correct extension cap for each
    routing layer from the layers characteristics (cache then in
    Katabatic::Configuration).
* Change: In Katabatic, <AutoSegment>, create segment with the wire width
    defined in the gauge. For AutoSegment created on already existing
    Segment from the global routing, adjust the width.
* Change: In Katabatic, <AutoSegment>, more accurate information about how
    a segment is connected to terminal via source and/or target.
    The flag SegStrongTerminal is splitted into SegSourceTerminal and
    SegSourceTarget (but still used as a mask). So now we can know by
    which end an AutoSegment is connected to a terminal.
* Change: In Katabatic, ::doRp_Access(), create constraint freeing segments
    not only when HSmall but also when VSmall (more critical for <vsclib>).
    Otherwise we may see AutoSegments with incompatible source/target
    constraints.
* Change: In Kite, BuildPowerRails, do not create blockage on PinOnly
    layers *but* still create power rails planes. This is a temporary
    workaround for <vsclib> where the METAL1 blockages overlaps the
    terminals (it was fine for Nero, but they shouldn't for Kite).
* Change: In Kite, <RoutingEvent>, if a TrackSegment is overconstrained,
    directly bybass it's slackening state to DataNegociate::Slacken.
    Also rename the flag "_canHandleConstraints" to "_overConstrained",
    seems clearer to me.

Miscellaneous:
* Change: In CRL Core, <Utilities>, add a "pass-though" capability on the
    mstream to temporarily make them print everything.

Jean-Paul Chaput 2dd36b9624 Support of RoutingGauge, part 2.
In Katabatic & Kite, remove all hard-coded values related to track pitches.
* New: In <Session>, add more convenience function to access RoutingGauge
    characteristics.
* New: In <AutoSegment>, <AutoContact>, add support for the "depth spin",
    that is, if the source/target contacts are going "top" or "down".
    Used to compute the perpandicular pitch. Need a small modification
    of the revalidation mechanism. The observers of <AutoSegment> are
    notified when the spin changes.
* New: In <AutoSegment>, the getPPitch() method allow to compute the
    "perpandicular pitch". For now it is simply the greatest from the
    source perpandicular pitch and the target perpandicular pitch.
    Make uses of the "depth spin".
* New: In <TrackElement>, <TrackSegment>, cache the perpandicular pitch.
    Updated through the notification from the observable.

Jean-Paul Chaput dda3f99fd8 Update documentation for compliance with doxygen 1.8.5.
When upgrading from doxygen 1.5.x to 1.8.5 the way the documentation
is generated has underwent many changes, particularly in the headers.
* Change: In <header.html>, must include the javascripts <jquery.js>
    and <dynsections.js>.
* In <CMakeLists.txt>, as the header is customized, doxygen seems not
    copy some files like the javascripts and some images (open.png,
    closed.png). So we copy them from doxygen installation and make
    the CMakeLists.txt install them. I hope they will not change too
    much in the future.
* In <doxyfile>, disable markdown support as it do not interpret
    correctly the formating we already adopted (with a left margin
    to put command into). Use HTML_EXTRA_STYLESHEET instead of
    HTML_STYLESHEET. Enable the index (DISABLE_INDEX=NO), for the
    top header. Enable dot for inheritance diagram. Set the
    EXAMPLE_PATH=. to include the synthetic hierarchy.
    Correct the tag inclusion (faulty path in some places).
* In <SoC.css>, create style for the new header generated by doxygen.
* In the documentation, move the synthetic hierarchy into a module.
2014-05-13 16:30:41 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput c8bcfdf174 Improved UpdateSession & exception catching. Start of RoutingGauge implem.
Miscellaneous:
* Change: In <crlcore>, in display.conf use the same display threshold
    for both METAL2 & METAL3.
      In alliance.conf, the side of VIAs in the gauge is 2l (not 3l).
      In kite.conf, separate edge densities for H/V.
* Change: In <Cell>, in flattenNets() use flag as argument, not a
    boolean. Do not create rings for clock or supply nets.
* Change: In <DeepNet>, in _createRoutingPads() do not create rings
    for clock or supply net (duplicated policy as in Cell::flattenNets()).
* Bug: In <ControllerWidget>, at last find the bad signal disconnect
    that was causing ungraceful messages.
* Change: In <knik>, in Edge display occupancy/capacity in the string
    name. Improved display progress and debugging capabilities.

Improved exception catch & breakpoint managment:
* Bug: In <PaletteWidget>, in updateExtensions() replace the calls to
    deleteLayer() by delete. This cause the widget to be immediatly
    erased instead of waiting for the event queue to be completly
    processed. This was causing the widget to be left in a incoherent
    state when stoping at a breakpoint.
* Bug: In <BreakpointWidget>, in execNoModal(), flush the main event
    loop (QApplication::flush()) *before* lauching the *local* event
    loop. This is to ensure all widgets are in their final state when
    waiting (especially <PaletteWidget>).
* Change: In <ExceptionWidget>, new method catchAllWrapper() to
    execute any std::function< void() > function/method with a "try"/
    "catch" wraparound and lauch the widget in case something is catch.
* New: In <hurricane>, support for a oberver pattern, backported from
    <katabatic> with an Obervable capable of being linked to any
    number of Obervers.
* New: In <Cell>, made it observable to detect Cell change, currently
    emit two kind of signals:
    - Cell::CellAboutToChange : *before* any change.
    - Cell::CellChanged : *after* the change has been completed.
* New: In <UpdateSession>, in Go::invalidate() add the Cell owning the
    Go to the UPDATOR_STACK (of course the cell is added only once).
    In addition, when the Cell is added, send a notification of
    Cell::CellAboutToChange to all it's observers. The slave instances
    are also invalidated.
      Conversely in UpdateSession::_preDestroy() for each invalidated
    Cell send a Cell::CellChanged notification to all observer.
      The UPDATOR_STACK has been slightly amended to accept Cell which
    are not Gos. Prior to this, the Cell where completly excluded from
    the UpdateSession mechanism, so it's instances where never actualised
    of anything referring to the Cell for that matter.
      Note: we use two different mechanisms to transmit a Cell change,
    observers and the slave instance map. I think at some point it
    should be unificated.
* Change: In <CellViewer>, make it a Cell observer to redraw when the
    cell is modificated (also update the palette).
      Uses the catchAllWrapper() to protect all critical actions.
* Change: In <GraphicTool>, no longer need of cellPreModificated and
    cellPostModificated signals. Now done through the Cell obersvers.
* Change: In <mauka>, <etesian> & <kite> now uses the catchAllWrapper
    method for protection (need to split methods in two, to be able
    to pass it as argument). No longer emit cellPreModificated and
    cellPostModificated.

Support for RoutingGauge in P&R:
* Bug: In <placeandroute.py>, the connection from the internal power
    ring to the connectors was not done correctly. Wrong contact layers
    leading to a gap.
* Change: In <BuildPowerRails>, detection of the corona signals based
    on how the "pck_px" pad is connected. No longer based on name
    matching.
* Change: In <placeandroute.py>, support for 2 routing metal only
    (3 metal in the technology).
* Change: In <katabatic> & <kite> support for a "top layer" limitation
    on the routing gauge, this allows to use only two routing metals
    (METAL2 & METAL3). Work in progress.
2014-04-20 19:30:07 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput fee45ef117 Qt5 porting, cleanup & Tidy.
Cleanup:
* Cleanup: In <vlsisapd/src/bookshelf>, remove unused file Bookshelf.cpp
    (may have been a parser once upon a time).
* Cleanup: In <hurricane>, in Cell::flattenNets() use flags instead of
    booleans to be more readable. Allow occurrence placement checking.
* New: In <crlcore> add Python wrapper for the Ispd05 loader.
* New: In <unicorn> add option for direct loading of ISPD05 designs.
* Bug: In <hurricane/src/viewer>, RecordModel must emit
    layoutAboutToBeChanged() before changing the record contents (and
    layoutChanged() afterwards).
2014-03-26 14:47:17 +01:00
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.
2014-03-22 11:50:36 +01:00
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.
2014-03-15 10:47:37 +01:00
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.
2014-03-11 12:21:31 +01:00
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.

        going one step to far. "i" must be bound to _conflicts.size()-1. 
    - Change: kite-text is renamed into kite.bin. It features the router only
        with a subset of options consistent with cgt (python). Mainly used for

2011-02-02 11:20:17 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 17f3207d71 * ./kite:
- New: In NegociateWindow/RoutingEvent, adds a more comprehensive stage
        "Repair". Perform in three stage: first try to place with a relaxed
        constraint (one GCell on each side). Second try to minimize the faulty
        segment. Third perform another "repack perpandicular" but this time
        the faulty segment is re-inserted *before* any of it's perpandiculars.
    - New: In RoutingEvent::cacheAxisHint(), when a segment has a parent, that
        is comes for a "moveUp()", uses the parent axis hint as it's own.
    - New: In State::slackenTopology(), in the global FSM, adds a special
        operation when reaching MaximumSlack: forceOverLocals(), try to insert
        the global on track containing only local segments. Should tend to
        concentrate locals on a small set of shared tracks. Most useful on the
        highest layers.
    - New: In State::slackenTopology(), in the "MoveUp" state, try to find the
        more appropriate segment to move up (Manipulator::desaturate()).
        Effectively move up the longest segment fully enclosing the one we are
        processing.
    - New: In State::slackenTopology(), add a check for fully blocked segments
        in the local segment FSM. Calls State::solveFullBlocked().
    - New: In KiteEngine::createGlobalGraph(), decrease the vertical capacity
        of one track inside the core. Helps smooth the vertical density.
    - Change: In Manipulator::insertInTrack(), when a track is freed for a
        to be inserted changes the priorities so that the segment is immediatly
        inserted. Parallels ripeds and theirs perpandiculars are replaced
        only *after*. This is the opposite of the previous behavior.
    - Change: In NegociateWindow::NegociateOverlapCost(), account the costs
        of terminals only for deep depth layers (M1, M2 & M3).
    - Change: In RoutingEvent::insertInTrack(), expand the excluded interval
        by a half-pitch (2.5l) instead of one lambda.
    - Change: In State::State(), do not uses DiscardGlobal if the ripup count
        exceed 5. Case of the "Strap" segments that can be ripped a lot
        before changing state.
    - Change: In State::_processNegociate(), no longer lock into position
        (fixed) the local terminal segments as a last resort.
    - Change: In RoutingEvent::_processNegociate(), no longer ripup perpandiculars
        when a segment is inserted in a free space. Reduce the number of
        events whithout degrading the routing quality.
    - Change: In State::conflictSolve1_v1b(), if getLongestConflict() is nul,
        ignore the track, the conflict must occurs on another track.
    - Change: In TrackCost, add a flag support. First uses, a flags to prevent
        a local of the topmost layer to ripup a global which is in moveUp
        state.
    - Bug: In State::solveFullBlockage(), after have been freed, reset the
        segment state to "moveUp".
    - Bug: In manipulator::minimize(), the axisHint was miscalculated if the
        punctual span was empty.
2011-01-25 17:16:50 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput c19429108e * ./kite:
- New: In RoutingEvent, while routing a full chip, transient full blockages
        may happens due to the initial position of some perpandiculars on theirs
        optimal positions. Check for it and perform a "ripupPerpandicular" with
        the perpandiculars re-routed first (on normal operation, this is the
        reverse).
    - Change: In NegociateWindow::NegociateOverlapCost(), do not account terminals
         if the layer is *above* METAL3 as it is unlikely that it's truly directly
         connected to a terminal (true at least for our designs).
    - Change: In RoutingEvent::State, add a "fullBlocked" flag to perform the
        full blockage direction while building the state object.
    - Change: In RoutingEvent::cacheAxisHint(), when the TrackSegment has parent,
        uses the parent current axis position and not it's axis hint.
    - Change: In Manipulator::insertInTrack(), when the overlapped segment is a
        Local and is completly enclosed (shrinkLeft & shrinkRight), no longer
        rip it up but force a shrink left/right instead. 
    - Bug: In RoutingEvent, the event sorting function was sorting in the *wrong*
        order! The less prioritary first! With the correct sort, we won an
        additionnal 30% in speed (total: 69%). From the "reference" time we have
        a 3.2 speed-up. And we can successfully process denser designs...
2011-01-09 18:08:57 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 3c9d064fd8 * ./Kite:
- New: In BuildPowerRails, special processing for the power ring segments.
        The "diagonal" of vias at each corner is causing a misbehavior of the
        routing algorithm (due to fully saturated GCells in one direction).
        As a temporary fix, extend the segments so they form a "square corner".
        (problem arise on "d_in_i(22)").
    - New: In RoutingEvent::_processNegociate, disable the "isForcedToHint()"
        feature. No noticeable loss of quality or speed.
    - New: In TrackElement/TrackSegment, wraps the AutoSegment parent's mechanism.
        Allows to gets the DataNegociate of either the segment or it's parent.
    - New: State::solveFullBlockages(), dedicated method to solves the case when
        all the allowed tracks of a segment are blocked, tries to moves up
        local segments and to break-up global ones.
    - New: RoutingEventLoop, a more sophisticated way to detect looping.
        Maintain a dynamic histogram of the last N (default 10) segments routeds,
        with the count of how many times they have occurred. If that count
        exeed 40, we *may* be facing a loop.
    - Change: In State::conflictSolve1, implement new policy. The global segments
        no more can be broken by local ones. The idea behind is that breaking
        a global on the request of a local will only produce more cluttering
        in the GCell. Globals must be keep straigth pass through, especially
        inside near-saturated GCells. Globals breaking however can occurs at
        another global's request.
    - Change: In TrackCost, implement the new policy about locals segments that
        cannot break globals segments. The sorting class now accept flags to
        modulate the sorting function. Two options avalaibles: IgnoreAxisWeigth
        (to uses for strap segments) and DiscardGlobals (to uses with locals).
    - Change: In TrackCost, the "distance to fixed" have now an upper bound of
        50 lambdas (no need to be greater because it means it's outside the
        begin & en GCells). Take account not only of fixed segment, but also
        of placed segments which makes bound.
    - Bug: In Track::_check(), while calling each individual TrackSegment check,
        uses it as the *first* argument of the "or", otherwise it may not be
        called.
    - Bug: In ProtectRoutingPad, loop over segment Collections while modificating
        it was producing non-deterministic results. The fact that a collection
        must be not modificated while beeing iterated is becoming a more and more
        painful problem.

- Change: Propagate renaming "obstacle" -> "blockage".
    - Bug/Change: In Configuration, the value of the extensionCap was too big
        (1.5 lambda), reduce to 0.5 lambda. This is a problem, the extension
        should be coupled to the layer as it is not the same for each METAL.
    - Bug: When using TrackElement, always uses the virtual "->isFixed()" method
        instead of trying to access to "->base()->isFixed()" as the base may be
        NULL in case of blockage/fixed segment.
    - Change: Merge PowerRails & Blockage trans-hierarchical construction (into
        PowerRails). All blockages are groupeds under "blockagenet".
          Allows to remove TrackBlockage & BuildBlockages.
    - Change: In KiteEngine::annotateGloblalGraph(), when routing a full chip,
        ring power segments around the core must completly saturate the edges
        in their segment direction. This is to prevent the global router to
        use paths under the power/ground ring (may generate unsolvable configs).
    - Change: In KiteEngine::annotateGloblalGraph(), when routing a full chip,
        distinguish three areas: the core (65%), the corona (90%) and the pads
        (100%). Capacities on the edges are sets accordingly.
    - Change: In RoutingEvent, introduce an alternative algorithm for
        conflictSolve1, FindPath which try to deduce the breakpoints from a
        truly explorated path. Unfortunatly this gives worst results than the
        Cs1Candidates method. The why should be investigated as it's a critical
        point in the algorithm.
    - Change: In Manipulator::ripupPerpandicular(), when a caged perpandicular
        is encountered, instead of just "stopping", rip it up and change is
        axis hint (actually increase) it's axis hint so it stands a chance to
        go outside the track with an obstacle.
    - Change: In RoutingEvent/State::slackenTopology(), allow move up of local
        segments when they are tightly constrained *and* blocked (cageds).
        Partial modification of functions calls from booleans to flags.
    - Bug: In NegociateWindow::NegociateOverlapCost, check for fixed segments
        before trying to get DataNegociate. The lack of DataNegociate cause the
        TrackElement to be discarted. It's a failsafe behavior, but it leads to
        overlaps.
    - Bug: In ProtectRoutingPad, in Pad Cells only, *do not* protect RoutingPad
        to avoid the edge capacity over the pad to decrease to zero. This is
        due to unused RoutingPads being accounted as blockages.

Jean-Paul Chaput 3b11ca116c * ./kite:
- New: In BuilPowerRails & BuildBlockage, specific support for chip-level
        design. The Alliance "top chip" design hierarchical structure is
        hard-coded. Top level POWER/GROUND/CLOCK nets must always have the
        <vsse>, <vdde>, <ck>, <vssi>, <vddi>, <ckc>, <cki> names.
          Specific method to get trans-hierarchical root nets, espcially in
        case of global ones (POWER/GROUND). Clock is *not* global.
          Some correction in the manner obscured tracks are computeds.
    - New: ProtectRoutingPad module that perform a more clean work for protecting
        unused RoutingPad.
    - Bug: In BuildPowerRails, uses stable_sort<> instead of sort<>, which
        causes unexplained core dumps (seems to try to perform a comparison
        using the "end" pseudo element). Already occured in Knik, no explanation
        other than a STL bug.
    - Change: Slight changes in the weights to move up. Now needs a full empty
        track instead of a half one.

Jean-Paul Chaput 350950cff8 * All tools:
- Bug: target_link_libraries() must be put back for OSX Snow Leopard
        (doesn't seems to affect Leopard). As I do not have an OSX under
        my hand it's untested and is likely to fail at that point.
2010-07-12 15:12:20 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 0d9f40e720 * All tools:
- Library linking: there must not be "target_link_library()" for libraries,
        only when building binaries. Avoid clashes between static module
        or class variables, and strange reinitialisation of those variables.
    - Change: Boost is now always linked staticly.

Jean-Paul Chaput 0d66fc6eb4 * ./hurricane:
- Change: When static linking is required, also switch Boost libraries in static

        * docs under          TOP/share/doc/coriolis2.

        files under TOP/etc/coriolis2/.

  * ./knik:
    - Change: In flute, comply to the new tree layout, get the "POW*.dat" files
        from TOP/share/coriolis2/flute-2.4.
2010-05-18 12:53:10 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 18e534f73a Adds LIB_SUFFIX to all CMakeLists install "lib" targets, so that 64 bits
libraries gets installed in "lib64" instead of "lib".

buildCoriolis.py sets automatically LIB_SUFFIX for cmake.
coriolis2.spec modificated to uses lib64 on 64 bits.
2010-05-17 21:19:14 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 48d1487d7b * All tools:
- Change: In the CMakeLists.txt, in all the install commands remove all
        the leading "/" as they prevents the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to be took
        into account. It was nevertheless working because buildCoriolis.py was
        using DESTDIR which is prepended anyway.
  * ./goodies:
    - Change: In buildCoriolis.py, no longer uses the DESTDIR but instead
        CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

Jean-Paul Chaput 22f8a25ced * ./kite:
- Change: In Configuration, sets the default expandStep parameter to
        0.99 (gives better results).
    - Change: In KiteEngine::_computeCagedConstraints(), detect and build
        a list of segments on which caged constraints are incompatibles
        (tearing effect shown in ieee_division). All caged constraints
        functions are modificated accordingly.
    - Change: In Session::_revalidate(), makes doglegs on Segment with
        incompatible caged constraints.
    - Mark: vld & ieee_division works.
2010-05-11 11:04:47 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 37b4e5b423 * ./kite:
- Change: In TrackCost, the ripup cost is now computed from a mix between
        the number of ripup *and* the data state. Restore a correct balance
        of the ripping up between segments.
    - New: In RoutingEvent::State::conflictSolve1(), when a very long Segment
        enters in conflictSolve1(), still prefers to move it up in one piece,
        but if it's not possible, it is unlikely that it will overlap with
        only one or two other Segment. In that cases, blindy break it up in
        the middle.
    - New: In RoutingEvent::Manipulator, another overload of makeDogLeg to
        allow break up at one precise point.
    - Change/Bug: In RoutingEvent::Manipulator::Relax(), reset the state of
        the non-overlapping Segment fragments instead of inheriting blindly
        of the state of the breaked up one. Gives some supplemental slack
        that allows to converge.
    - Note: Now the strategy is to disable the uses of GCellRoutingSet by
        setting the expand step to 0.99. This induces only a slight slow
        dow and memory increase and passes all the tests...
    - Mark: This revision passes all the benches except for idct, vld &
        ieee_division.

Jean-Paul Chaput 6a3440f4e6 * Most of tools:
- Bug: In top CMakeLists.txt the SETUP_PROJECT_PATHS was not inserting
        X_USER_TOP *before* X_TOP, thus potentially allowing an obsolete
        system-wide configuration to shadow an up-to-date local one.

  * ./kite:
    - Change: In Configuration/KiteEngine, propagate changes in Configuration
        in Kite. Note that a *second* singleton is created at Kite level.
    - New: KiteEngine::printConfiguration() method to allow quick checks of
        the router's main parameters.
    - New: ConfigurationWidget to display/sets all the revelant Katabatic/
        Kite configuration parameters. To be used with the TabSettings from
        the ControllerWidget.
          The ConfigurationWidget is bound to the default (static) Kite
        configuration, as once it has been run you obviously cannot change the
        router's settings.
2010-04-28 15:44:07 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput b2c3c68601 * ./kite:
- Change: In TrackFixedSegment, when the source/target coordinates of the
        fixed segment are outside the grid (i.e. the Cell Abutment Box) truncate
        them.
    - Change: In GCell::addTrackSegment, when looking for overlap between the
        to be inserted TrackSegment and Blockage segment, shrink the Blockage
        span by one DbU to avoid false overlap when they are just edges connexes.
    - Bug: In RoutingEvent::slackenTopology, in the local segment FSM, looping
        on the MaximumSlack state. Now also checks the state count.
    - Change: In TrackSegment::canMoveUp() & canPivotUp() adds the "reserve"
        parameter and uses it in RoutingEvent to prevent over saturated GCells.
    - Change: In Configuration, parameters adjustements: expandStep increased to
        0.40. Makes RoutingSets biggers but no noticeable slow down.
2010-04-23 13:14:17 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 3f8e8459fc * ./kite:
- Bug: In RoutingEvent::Manipulator::forceToTrack(), wrong return code,
        was always return true, blocking the explorations of least good
        Track.
    - Bug: In RoutingEvent::_processNegociate(), must reset the "insert state"
        while looping on candidate. This bug was having the same effect as
        (and masking) the previous one!
    - Bug: In TrackSegment::moveUp(), reset the ripup count after the move
        up...
    - Change: At various DebugSession opening points, sets the debug level to
        200 to avoid extraneous debugging output.
    - New: KiteEngine::dumpMeasures() to create a data file for later uses
        by gnuplot. In interactive mode, this function is called in the
        "finalize layout" stage.
    - New: Adds measurments "algo", "fin" & "Segs".

Jean-Paul Chaput 974b29b8a7 * ./kite:
- Change: In TrackSegment, _postDogLeg() & _postModify(), add segments to
        "Ring" if they are directly connected to a RoutingPad. To maintain the
        "border effect" after a topological slackening.
    - Change: In GraphicKiteEngine, in the global routing relateds menus, suppress
        the mention of "solution" as it might be unclear for an average user.
        (just "Save Global Routing" or "Load Global Routing").
    - Change: In RoutingEvent, conflictSolve1() tries to move up "other" blocking
        segment before trying to break "self".
    - Bug: In TrackSegment::reschedule(), remove from Track segments that are
        now in a greater order than the current one. This bug was shown in the
        TrackSegment::_postModify() method after a desalignate.
          It was causing overlaps and/or routing completion false reports.

2010-03-19 14:22:34 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput b044a3e8a6 * All Tools:
- Change: New structure for the installation & CMake system.
         * Tools are now grouped in "projects". There are three projects:
           1. - IO: Standalones parsers/drivers (IO_USER_TOP, IO_TOP).
           2. - Coriolis: Base & digital tools (CORIOLIS_USER_TOP, CORIOLIS_TOP).
           3. - Chams: Analogic tools (CHAMS_USER_TOP, CHAMS_TOP).
           Each *project* has a two "TOP" environement variables, for
         example: IO_TOP and IO_USER_TOP. Thoses variables are the only
         ones useds to locate the tool (CMake modules, headers & libraries).
           The local path always takes precedence over the global one.
           The localisation process occurs in each tool top CMakeLists.txt
         where the macro SETUP_PROJECT_PATH is to be defined. There is no
         way to put it in a shared includes file as it's the macro precisely
         used to locates the includes... You have to call the macro once for
         each project you wants to uses:
             SETUP_PROJECT_PATHS(IO)
             SETUP_PROJECT_PATHS(CORIOLIS)
         * In FindTOOL.cmake, supress the <TOOL>_DIR_SEARCH and uses the
         <PROJECT>_DIR_SEARCH instead (example: CORIOLIS_DIR_SEARCH).
         * buildCoriolis.py modificated according to the new "TOP" scheme.
