Jean-Paul Chaput cbccf9e2a4 * ./katabatic:
- New: In LayerAssignement & GCell, perform layer assignment on whole net
        trunk, instead on a segment by segment basis.
    - New: In GCell, fragmentation analysis. When a layer change is requested,
        it allows to check if the additionnal perpandiculars created to
        maintain connexity will not over fragment the layer. This is particu-
        larly critical for M3->M5 which create M4 in perpandiculars, and M4
        may be subject to very dense configuration.
    - New: In AutoSegment & LoadGrByNet, adds a flags telling if the net's
        degree equal 2. Has not proven to be useful yet.
    - New: In AutoSegment, adds a flag telling if the segment is the perpan-
        dicular part of a dogleg. Has not proven useful yet.

Jean-Paul Chaput 10682d9c7c * ./crlcore:
- Change: In RoutingLayerGauge, no longer throw exception when the position
        requested it outside the track grid. Instead returns first/last track
        index.

Jean-Paul Chaput b8e42d2efc * ./hurricane/src/viewer:
- New: In ExceptionWidget, mimic more closely the behavior of a QDialog.
        Uses QTextEdit/QTextDocument for the trace. Static "all in one" methods,
        build from various exceptions/Errors & QString. Automatic window centering
        when the trace is displayed.

- Bug: In doc/stratus, correct rendering of images under LaTeX & HTML. Latex2HTML
        requires the file extension (.png) to be present while latex don't want them.
        Build alternate sources with the \latexhtml macro so both are happy.

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...

Jean-Paul Chaput 0df293655a * ./katabatic:
- New: In GCell, compute a "fragmentation" indice, the average free track
        length, the more fragmented, the smaller the indice.
    - New: In AutoSegment::canMoveUp(), when requested, not only check for free
        (parallel) track in the up layer but also check that the begin/end 
        local segments created to maintain layer connexity do not creates too
        much fragmentation. This fragment could prove critical in higly dense
        GCells.
    - Change: In LayerAssign, disable the ::rpDesaturate() steps, after optimization
        the router can handle 10 terminals per GCells in M2 without problem.
        And ::rpDesaturate() must uses GCell::stepNetDesaturate() and *not*
        directly ::stepDesaturate().

    - Bug: In Grid::rectangularShape(), uses "minWith" parameter *only* if it's
        different from DbU::Max.

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.
2010-12-30 18:42:17 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 8faade8bc6 * ./katabatic:
- New: In AutoSegment, adds a "_parent" attribute to keep track of the fragmentation
        processus. Currently used only for strap segments, points to the original
        segment in the appropriate direction (before the split).
    - New: In GCell & LayerAssign, new method of layer assignment. Move up
        the whole net trunk if only one of it's segment is inside an over-saturated
        GCell. AutoSegment are moved up only if there is at least 2 free tracks
        remaining on the upper level.
    - Change: In Session::_canonize(), uses the lowest segment Id as canonical.
        More reliable than geometricals criterions in the end. Assuming that the
        segments are being created in deterministic order, which *should* be the
        case consediring the way we are walking through the global routing.
    - Change: In AutoSegment, completly suppress the CompareCanonical(), replace
        it by the much simpler CompareId().
    - Change: In GCell::rpDesaturate(), stops desaturation when bottom density
        is under 0.5, otherwise we are causing a severe imbalance in M2/M4
        densities. All wires pushed up to M4...
    - Change: In ChipTools, for the Pad's RoutingPad, reslect the best component
        using the one in the lowest layer. To avoid problem when splitting
        AutoContact as we expect the base Contact to be on the lower layer.
    - Bug: In GCellConfiguration::_GCell_xG_xL1_xL3(), add H/V alignement constraints
        in fork case. This allow NE/SW contact to be splitted correctly later.
    - Bug: In AutoContact::split(), the connexity on the splitted contacts was
        not correctly restored, leading to canonization and parentage looping
        errors. This was concealed by the Kite Track::_check() bug (incomplete
        individual TrackSegment checking).

Jean-Paul Chaput beae7fb97e * ./crlcore:
- New: In GraphicsParser, read the new darkening scheme (HSV ratio).
        "display.xml" configuaration file modificated accordingly. May be some
        tuning needed for white background styles.

Jean-Paul Chaput f7721dd754 * ./hurricane/src/hurricane:
- Change: In RoutingPad, uses my C++ style. Normalize constructors calls.
        Allow to select (trough flags) the way the "best component" is choosen.
        Currently: Biggest Area or Lowest Layer or Highest Layer.

  * ./hurricane/src/viewer:
    - New: In DisplayStyle, darkening is now expressed as a ratio over the HSV
        components of a color. Introduce a new DisplayStyle::HSVr type.
        Allow a more readable darkening effect. All object modicated accordingly.
    - Change: In NetlistWidget, the "Net" section now correctly dimension itself
        on the widest net name. Must suppress all the size Hints in the header
        & data models.

        model into the editor (still named View()) and a Breakpoint() method
        for putting true stop points. The Breakpoint() method calls the
        View() method. Will simplificate my explanations to the students...

Jean-Paul Chaput 37d2483443 * ./kite:

    - Change: In GraphicKiteEngine, add a menu entry to dump the measurments.
2010-12-15 15:12:00 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a93e5be3da * ./crlcore:
- New: Histogram object, imported from Kite. Made more generic to be reusable
        by all.
    - Change: In Measures, added Inspector support.
        NOTE: The hidden property holding MeasuresDatas no longer uses a pointer
              a value. This forces us to enable the copy constructor. It is needed
              for some inner STL container manipulation, but should *not* be used
              with non-empty datas. The copy constructor *do not* copy the internal
              datas (reset the object).
    - New: In Measurments, support for complex data sets, saved in separate Gnuplot
        <.dat> files. Used to integrate Histogram.
    - New: In Histogram, now a supported Measure type so it can be integrated along
        all others measurments.
    - Bug: In display.xml, forgotten gcut description in Alliance Classic black
        style.

Jean-Paul Chaput daab8a8b8f * ./hurricane/src/viewer:
- In CellViewer, adds a shortcut for launching Stratus scipts: SHIFT+P,S
        and one for pure Python scripts: SHIFT+P,P.
    - In ExceptionWidget, put the trace inside a QScrollArea so all the call
        stack can be viewed regardless of the window's size. It seems that
        QFontMetrics has problems to compute the right text size when using
        a Qt::RichText enabled widget. Adds some "manual" corrections, hope
        they will be sufficiently portables.

Jean-Paul Chaput 629452dcc6 * ./katabatic:
- Change: In GCell & GCellGrid, unificated way of computing all the GCell's
        densities.
    - Change: In GCell::stepDesaturate(), uses shearUp() instead of moveUp().
    - Change: In AutoSegment, new method ::shearUp() to avoid moveUp() saturating
        GCells as side-effect.

Jean-Paul Chaput 23fc3e7b79 * ./kite:
- 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.
2010-12-04 15:25:48 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput cf9a7a7911 * ./katabatic:
- New: ChipTools, regroup all datas and utilities to manage a full-chip
        design.
    - Change: In LoadGrByNet/GCellConfiguration::_GCell_xG_1Pad(), uses straight
        perpandicular wires on top & right pads. The GCells under those connectors
        are fully saturated, wires must go out as straight as possible.
    - Change: In AutoHorizontal/AutoVertical, update the "terminal" flag after
        slackening. This is to avoid global that are no longer connected to
        terminals behave as such.
    - Change: In AutoSegment::canMoveUp() & canPivotUp(), prevent all local segments
        to go up. This is to avoid cluttering upper levels with small segments.
    - Change: In GCellConfiguration, for xG_xL3, detect straight vertical topologies
        and for them to be fixed (new flag FIXED_GLOBAL set by the topological
        builder instead of the constructor). This prevent the router to do
        stupid things...
          To sets the "Fixed" flag *after* the axis of global segments have been
        positionned correctly adds a "_toFixGlobals" static table lookup.
    - Change: In GCell::stepDesaturate(), if less than one free track remains in
        the upper layer, do not move up the segment. This allows from a minimum
        free room for expansion.
    - Change: In GCell::_getString(), display indexes and layer names in various
        saturation tables.
    - Change: In AutoSegment, allow move up of local Segment. ::moveUp() and
        ::canMoveUp() arguments go from booleans to flags, which are more
        explicits.

- Change: Rename "obstacle" to "blockage" in all the places it still appears

    - New: In Catalog, adds a "Pad" attribute to mark cells that are pads.
    - Change: In ApParser, discard "padreal" instances as a cause for a Cell to
        be non-terminal. This is for LeafPlugOccurrences to consider the terminals
        of those cells.
    - Change: In ApParser, makes use of the new Pad flag in Catalog.

Jean-Paul Chaput 828b1d6b6f * ./hurricane/src/hurricane:
- New: Torus object. To allow a simpler management of a chip's corona,
         the toric area between the pads and the core.
    - Change: In HyperNet/LeafPlugOccurrences, change the instance stop criterions
        from "isLeaf()", which means "contains no instances" to "isTerminal()"
        which can be programmatically changed. This has to be done for the Pads
        which are non-leaf due to "padreal" but still must be considered for their
        connectors.
          This modification is coupled with one in the Ap parser.
    - Change: In Backtrace, enable support for Apple backtrace. This is a blind
        test as I can't check by myself.

  * ./hurricane/src/viewer:
    - Change: In CellWidget/SelectionModel/SelectionWidget, rewrite the Gos selec-
        tion mechanism. Now ExtensionGo could be selecteds as they ought to be.
        Also adopt a more standard way of how objetcs are selecteds.
          Prefer "dataChanged()" signal over "reset()" or "layoutChanged()" as
        it keeps the selection instead of resetting it.
          Unselecteds entry in the window (toggled with 't') are now shown in
        red for better readability.
