- New: In ConfigurationWidget, add support for hMETIS partitionner.
- New: Static method doQuadriPart() to perform recursive quadri-partionning
of the circuit. Down to the instanceStopCriterion and with metis/nimbus.
Ported from pycoriolis.
- New: MaukaEngine::regroupOverloadedGCells() also imported from pycoriolis.
- New: hMETIS support.
- Change: In Configuration, now CellGauge characteristics are supplied only
through Configuration.
- Change: In SubRow, change the way bin widths are computed.
- Bug: In Surface & MaukaEngine, lengthes that are "proportional" to areas
are now coded with double instead of DbU::Unit, because of capacity
overflow.
- New: Now options are handleds by the standard "Configuration". Especially
suppress the need to specify a Library when creating the tool. Now the
Configuration directly supplies the CellGauge & RoutingGauge.
- New: "linefill" class which allows to print filled lines and automatically
go to the next line whenever the line is full (more than 80 characters).
- New: In ToolBox, getInstancesCount() recursively counts leaf cell instances.
- New: In CellGauge, added getClone() method (for Configuration).
- Change: It seems that the changes to match the new VLSISAPD weren't commited

* agds :
- all agds object now belong to AGDS namespace
- 'Gds' has been removed from all filenames
* cif
- all cif objects now belong to CIF namespace
- 'Cif' has been removed from all filenames
* dtr
- minor modifications in CMakeLists.txt since Boost Python is now used by other driver & parser
ADDS
* agds :
- new python module
* cif
- new python module
* doc
- brand new doxygen documentation with
global presentation
cif format (driver)
agds format (driver)
links & contacts
* examples
- examples files in C++ and Python for cif & agds drivers (others will follow)
My view is : the possibility of configuration and combination of OA,
are almost infinite, the .cmake should not bother on finding the directory
hierarchy depending on uname value but only identify OA libraries and includes.
To compile the OPENACCESS WRAPPER
all you have to do is set an OPENACCESS_TOP like
in the other projects.
Example :
Now assuming you work on coriolis machine
To use the precompiled cadence OA v22.04.057 in
/users/soft/opus/6.1.0/Linux/IC-6.1.0/oa_v22.04.057/lib/linux_rhel40_64/opt
and the headers extracted from si2 OA v22.04.042 in
/dsk/l1/misc/caba/OA_HEADER/include
you can create a directory, let's say /dsk/l1/misc/caba/CADENCE_OA
containing symbolic links respectively named lib and include
Then set OPENACCESS_TOP to this created dir
export OPENACCESS_TOP=/dsk/l1/misc/caba/CADENCE_OA
- Bug: In CMakeLists.txt, local include directories *first*.
- Change: In Configuration::setRipupLimit(), swap the two parameters,
more natural ordering.
- New: In ConfigurationWidget, adds an "apply" button to register the
new parameters values.
- Bug: In CMakeLists.txt, local include directories *first*.
- New: In Utilities, Dots::asBool() & Dots::asLambda().
- New: In display.xml, new <drawingstyle> for Mauka Containers.
- Change: In Instance & Cell, do *not* materialize unplaced instances.
This is to avoid overloading the QuadTree at point (0,0) and besides
has no senses. Uses the PlacementStatus state.
- Bug: In Viewer CMakeLists.txt, put tool include directories first.
