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 3b343f08cf Bug in Python proxy deallocation. Update to latest Coloquinte.
* Bug: In Bootstrap, in coriolisEnv.py, check if devtoolset-2 is already
    active before launching it as a sub-shell.
* Bug: In Isobar, In PyHurricane.h, DBoDestroyAttribute() set the proxy
    pointer toward the C++ object to NULL. So when the Python object is
    deleted no double-deletion occurs on the C++ object.
      Add some more trace information in Python link/dealloc.
* Change: In CRL Core, in cyclop, make CMakeLists.txt automatically
    choose the right rule for linking the binary wether we use Qt 4 or
    Qt 5. Very irksome problem.
* New: In EtesianEngine::addFeed(), do not take into account instances
    that are not placed entirely inside the top cell abutment box (was
    causing a core dump).
* Bug: In Katabatic, in GCellQueue, correct a mismatch between a GCell
    set and the iterators used upon it.
* Bug: In Mauka, in Row & Surface correct a mismatch between a container
    and it's iterator.
* New: In Etesian, updated to work with the latest Coloquinte, patch
    contributed by G. Gouvine.
      Added EtesianEngine::setDefaultAb() to compute an abutment box if
    the Cell is completly unplaced.
* New: In cumulus, in ClockTree, now the placer can be configured to be
    either Mauka (slow simulated annealing) or Etesian (fast analytic).
    New setting 'clockTree.placerEngine' in plugin settings.
2015-02-13 23:38:55 +01:00
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.
2014-12-09 23:49:46 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 648b85226e Use rowend instead of tie in ClockTree for removed clock buffers.
* Bug: In Cumulus, in ClockTree.py, do not use "tie_x0" which is 2 pitch
    wide to fill the free space left by clock-tree removed (unused)
    buffers. If the buffer size width is odd (in pitch), it will left
    a gap in the WELL. That was the cause of DRC notch errors.
      Instead use "rowend_x0" which is one pitch wide.
      Should use the same mechanism as in Mauka InsertFeed.
2014-10-02 00:42:59 +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 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/.

Jean-Paul Chaput 7a6dcd1527 Correctly print the margin in error messages. Suppress annoying CR. 2014-06-21 17:59:56 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 1e1495e294 Correct a bug in the UpdateSession::close() mechanism.
* Bug: In Hurricane, UpdateSession::close(), when re-materializing, the
    cells must be notified <CellChanged> *after* all the Gos are
    re-materializeds. In fact they must also revalided according to the
    deepness of their instanciation (the deepest first). Has still to
    be done.
2014-05-27 15:41:32 +02:00
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.
2014-05-19 17:58:38 +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 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 725cf8b2e6 * ./mauka:
- New: In MaukaEngine::Construct(), do not try to initialize the slice height
        from a model with an empty AbutmentBox. Instead, signal an error (the model
        is likely to be missing, it has been initialized from the COMPONENT).
    - Change: In MaukaEngine::Construct(), clearer error message when there is duplicated
        instances. Show the full occurrence path of each conflicting instance.
2013-02-10 11:53:07 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f2aae7a567 * All Tools:
- A complete sweep of cleanup to suppress allmost all compiler warnings.

  * ./mauka:

2012-11-16 12:53:00 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 5ab1e9dde6 * <All Tools>/CMakeLists.txt:
- Change: Added versioning to library.
2011-02-02 22:48:45 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput e6ac57145f * ./mauka:
- Bug: In GraphicMaukaEngine::doQuadriPart(), performs a quadri-partition
        only if there is more than 4*instanceStopCriterions Cells (trans-
        hierarchically computeds).

Jean-Paul Chaput 41e93e7c65 * ./mauka:
- Change: In GraphicMaukaEngine, simplificate the normal menu, put
        everything else in the "step by step" sub-menu.
2010-08-26 15:17:46 +00:00
Sophie Belloeil bd8e1fb9a4 Adding Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS 2010-07-21 12:38:33 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 01ad051a73 * All Main Python Modules:
- Change: New problem identified with the Python modules: each module seems
        to be built as a complete binary, so all the static C++ initializers are
        allocated in each module. In particular the C++ tree inheritance is built
        for *each* module so we cannot longer uses the typeid() comparisons
        across modules... It was used by boost::program_options to perform is
        casts with boost::any and was starting throwing exceptions because of
        bad casts. program_option was first initialized in "configuration"
        first included by PyViewer then in PyCRL (see Utilities.cpp).
          A first solution is to re-order the import of Python modules in
        stratus1/st_model so that CRL is imported first.
          The second is to not not link "configuration" with boost::program_option
        as only the binary vlsisapd-conf-editor needs it.
          That is a serious problem of which we must be aware and can cause further
        strange behaviors.
          Debug code used to diagnostic has been kept commented in the sources a
        it may be needed again :-(
          This behavior do not affect our singletons because they are part of
        dynamic libraries that seems to be correctly shared between the various
        Python modules.

  * ./mauka:
    - Change: In CMakeLists.txt, makes Mauka compliant with OSX (case sensitivity).
2010-07-17 10:33:55 +00:00

Jean-Paul Chaput 201902897f Forgotten, as usual. 2010-07-12 16:36:02 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ea52a09b6f * 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.

  * ./mauka:
    - Bug: Place intermediate levels of instances, so that they show up in
        the top level.
    - Change: New InsertFeeds method + module, sadly we cannot insert the feeds
        cells in one merged step with the BBPlacer as the SubRows do not cover
        the entire surface due to fixed Cells.
2010-07-12 15:19:31 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 5a0c973c1b * 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 548257c1d1 * ./metis:
- Change: In doQuadriPart, manage correctly non-square designs. So that
        after an initial non-quadripartition step, the partitions are rougly
        squares. Seems to have trouble with small designs.

    - Change: switch toward the XML configuration system. Suppress the need
        of a default static configuration (now built on demand from the XML
        database).
          In Mauka and Kite, suppress the ConfigurationWidget, wich are
        obsoleted by the generic XML configuration widget.
2010-06-18 14:14:54 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 25ce4db617 * ./mauka:
- 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.
