Jean-Paul Chaput b57c81dda8 Bug in Cell::_preDestroy().
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Cell::_preDestroy(), the classic mistake again:
    do not iterate over a collection while deleting it's elements.
    Now should be safe.
* Change: In CRL Core, set the default display style to "Alliance.Classic [black]"
    (my favorite).

Jean-Paul Chaput 0efe75af00 Implementation of DataBase native save/restore in JSON (step 3).
* Test: post-receive hook on server should send mail [1].
* New: In VLSISAPD, in Parameter, callback have now a tag, which the
    pointer to the caller. This allow for the callback removal when
    the caller is destroyed.
* New: In VLSISAPD, in WidgetDescription, when associated to a parameter,
    the destructor must remove the associated callback function on
    the Parameter.
* New: In Hurricane, added JSON support for Configuration, separated
    from vlsisapd, as the support is not available at this point.
    JSON support for Configuration, Parameter & LayoutDescription.
* Change: In Hurricane, in JsonStack, the stack of JsonObjects has been
    displaced here from HurricaneHandler. This way, all
    JsonObject::toData() can access the JsonOjects in the context
    of the parser.
* New: In Hurricane, in DBo::toJson() added support for Entity by
    reference (ids).
* New: In Hurricane, added JSON support for all Layer sub-class types.
* New: In Hurricane, in Technology, export the Layers, but must be
   sorted by increasing mask value.
* New: In Hurricane, in Entity, added support for Entity by reference (ids).
* New: In Hurricane, in DataBase, added technology full support.
* New: In Hurricane, In JsonNet, move the ring rebuild management from
    JsonStack to JsonNet.
* New: In Hurricane, added JSON support for NetAlias, NetExternalcomponents
    (not cleanly implemented as a Relation).
* New: In Hurricane, new method Cell::fromJson() to load a cell from
    a JSON file.
* New: In Hurricane, In Graphics, make it an observable, for when JSON
    fully reload the graphic state, it must be able to notify other
    objects (namely the Controller).
* New: In Hurricane, in ControllerWidget, observe the Graphics to regenerate
    the palette as needed. New method ControllerTab::graphicsUpdated().
* New: In Hurricane, in RawDrawingStyle added a destructor to release the
    Qt pen/brush. Added JSON support for HSVr, DrawingStyle, DrawingGroup,
    & DisplayStyle.
* New: In Hurricane, in GraphicsWidget, rewrite correctly the readGraphics()
    to erase the previous widgets and re-create the new ones.
* New: In Hurricane, in PaletteWidget, correct re-creation of the layout/widgets
    in case of Graphics change.
* New: In CRL Core, in System, register the parameters callbacks with
    the address of the object, for later deletion.
* New: In CRL Core, in AllianceFramework, make it observable, to notify
    library changes. For the AllianceFramework creation, now allow to
    completly bypass the Python initialization system, when we expect
    to restore it from a full blob. Added methods to sets the default
    RoutingGauge & CellGauge.
* New: In CRL Core, added JSON suppport for CellGauge, RoutingLayerGauge
    & RoutingGauge.
* New: In CRL Core, in LibraryManager, oberver AllianceFramework, to update
    the list of libraries in case of change (for JSON full reload).

Jean-Paul Chaput 1b7bd9de36 Happy new year 2016! 2016-01-21 00:41:19 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 5baddeb558 Implementation of DataBase native save/restore in JSON (step 2).
* New: In boostrap, in ccb.py, added support for the "support" project
    which contains external dependencies. Currently contains only
    RapidJSON. Those dependencies must be cloned here manually.
* New: In Hurricane, Initializer class for an ordered static initialization
    across different compilation modules.
* Change: In Hurricane, at DataBase level, no longer save the Cells in
    the libraries, but create and ordered list of Cell. Deepest cells
    (leaf cells) first. To avoid dependency problems.
* New: In Hurricane, JSON support for Property.
* New; In CRL, added JSON support for AllianceFramework, Environement &
    Catalog and their associated properties. Adjustment of the
    AllianceLibrary creation policy.
2016-01-21 00:25:39 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f537a10d45 Implementation of DataBase native save/restore in JSON (step 1).
* New: In Hurricane, added first support for DataBase native import/export
    using JSON.
      We choose RapidJSON, in SAX mode, to manage the JSON format low level
    Read/Write. Thus, it's Git repository http://github.com/miloyip/rapidjson
    must be added under ~/coriolis-2.x/src and manually build and installed
    in the Coriolis installation tree (to be integrated in ccb later).
      Two mode are being supported:
        1. Cell mode: one Cell only is saved. In that mode, Entities
           referred by Occurrences are "outside" the file. They are coded
           through their "signature" (mostly, all the values of their
           attributes). The ids saved in the file cannot be restored
           identically as we cannot predict when and in which context the
           Cell will be reloaded.
        2. Design Blob mode: the whole design hierarchy, down and including
           the standard cells is saved. This way the design is completly
           self contained and Entities ared referred through their ids.
           A design blob can only be loaded immediatly after starting cgt
           as the DataBase *must* be empty. This way we restore the whole
           design hierarchy with *exactly* the same ids.
      Now, Hurricane object should provide a "toJson()" method for driving
    JSON, and be associated with a JsonObject derived class for parsing.
* New: In Hurricane, ability to force the next id that will be used for a
    DBo (used by Design Blob Mode).
* New: In Hurricane, in DataBase, added getCell() and getLibrary() functions
    to allow the hierarchical access of a Cell/Library in native mode
    (i.e. whithout the requirement of AllianceFramework).
* New: In Hurricane, In CellViewer, added menu entry for Save/Load of
    JSON Design Blobs. Added at this level because we consider it as the
    "native" format of Hurricane.
* New: In Unicorn, added support of import/export of JSON Cell.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Instance, when cloning an Instance or uniquifying
    it's master Cell, we forgot about the Occurrences (through shared pathes).
    When an instance is cloned the Shared pathes still points toward the
    original Instance. And when it's the master Cell that is uniquifyed
    it's the Entities pointed to that remains in the original Cell.
    This is a software design problem. It is difficult to define what
    policy to adopt when uniquifying: basically that means that one
    Occurence is either moved onto the clone or duplicated. Furthermore,
    it is not trivial to known what Occurrence is pointing on the
    uniquifyed/cloned item. Have to think about it a little more.
* Bug: In Etesian, in EtesianEngine, build the flattened nets and their
    RoutingPads *after* uniquifying (through slaving bounding boxes).
    This way we avoid the Occurrences problem described above.
* Bug: In Etesian, in EtesianEngine, invalidate the RoutingPad after
    processing the placement so they are put into the right quadtree.
    This problem is due to the fact that the RoutingPads do not belong
    to the Instance that they refer. And when this instance is moved
    around, she doesn't inform the RoutingPad that is has moved.
    More software architecture design to review...

Jean-Paul Chaput 1adefabb2f Correctly remove VHDL Entity and Bit properties.
* Bug: In CRL Core, in Vst driver, remove VhdlEntity (from Cell) and
    BitProperty/Bit (from Net) with the property remove and not the
    destroy() method. The BitProperty removal was completly forgotten
    leading to the use of removed Signals when doing multiple saves
    (hence core-dump).
* Change: In CRL Core, in Vst driver, never save as Signals the DeepNets
    as they are created by a virtual flatten and do not connect any
    instances at top level. Note that they will exists in the physical
    file if routing layout has been created.
2015-09-06 17:24:04 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ed557d9027 Added support for "same layer" dogleg. Big fix for pad routing.
* Change: In Knik, in Vertex, add a "blocked" flag to signal disabled
    vertexes in the grid (must not be used by the global router).
      Modificate the Graph::getVertex() method so that when a vertex
    is geometrically queried, if is a blocked one, return a non-blocked
    neighbor. This mechanism is introduced to, at last, prevent the
    global router to go *under* the pad in case of a commplete chip.
* New: In Katabatic, in AutoSegment, a new state has been added: "reduced".
    A reduced segment is in the same layer as it's perpandiculars.
    To be reduced, a segments has to be connected on source & target to
    AutoContactTurn, both of the perpandiculars must be of the same layer
    (below or above) and it's length must not exceed one pitch in the
    perpandicular direction.
      To reduce an AutoSegment, call ::reduce() and to revert the state,
    call ::raise(). Two associated predicates are associated:
    ::canReduce() and ::mustRaise().
      Note: No two adjacent segments can be reduced at the same time.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in GCellTopology, add a new method ::doRp_AccessPad()
    to connect to the pads. Create wiring, fixed and non managed by
    Katabatic, to connect the pad connector layer to the lowest routing
    layers (depth 1 & 2). The former implementation was sometimes leading
    to gaps (sheared contact) that *must not* occurs during the building
    stage.
      Remark: This bug did put under the light the fact that the initial
    wiring must be created without gaps. Gaps are closed by making doglegs
    on contacts. But this mechanism could only work when the database if
    fully initialised (the cache is up to date). Otherwise various problems
    arise, in the canonization process for example.
* New: In Katabatic, in AutoContactTerminal::getNativeConstraintBox(),
    when anchored on a RoutingPad, now take account the potential rotation
    of the Path's transformation. Here again, for the chip's pads.
* New: In Kite, support for reduced AutoSegment. TrackSegment associateds
    to reduced AutoSegment are *not* inserted into track to become
    effectively invisibles. When a segment becomes reduced, a TrackEvent
    is generated to remove it. Conversely when it is raised a RoutingEvent
    is created/rescheduled to insert it. All this is mostly managed inside
    the Session::revalidate() method.
* New: In Kite, in KiteEngine::createGlobalGraph(), in case of a chip,
    mark all global routing vertexes (Knik) that are under a pad, as blockeds.
* Bug: In Cumulus, in PadsCorona.Side.getAxis(), inversion between X and
    Y coordinate of the chip size. Did not show until a non-square chip
    was routed (i.e. our MIPS R3000).
* Change: In Stratus1, in st_placement.py add the ClockBuffer class for
    backward compatibility with the MIPS32 bench. Have to review this
    functionnality coming from the deprecated placeAndroute.py.
      In st_instance.py, no longer creates the Plug ring of a Net.
    In my opinion it just clutter the display until the P&R is called.
    Can re-enable later as an option (in Unicorn).
* Change: In Unicorn, in cgt.py, more reliable way of loading then running
    user supplied scripts. Borrowed from alliance-checker-toolkit doChip.py	.

Jean-Paul Chaput ff69a2ef74 Added Hierarchy browser to the Controller.
* New: In Hurricane, added hierarchy browser in the controller.
    The hierarchy is presented as a tree. New MVC, HierarchyInformations,
    HierarchyModel and HierarchyBrowser.
      When using a data model which is not directly connect inside the
    model, we must use the internalPointer field of the QModelIndex.
    But this field is also used by the QSortFilterproxymodel, this
    prevent using it with a Tree model.
      The filter is directly implemented and is specific to each
    Instance entry.
* Change: In CellWidget & CellWidget::State, now store the Cell and
    a Path, this way we can keep track of the hierarchy when browsing.
    The Path is in the State and so propagated back to the Controller.
* Change: In HierarchyCommand, use the Path with setCell().
2015-07-23 00:44:56 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ae6eeb8f56 Merged QuadTrees in overlayed Cells (placed together).
* New: In Hurricane, in Cell & Instance, add the ability to merge the
    QuadTree when *second level* instances of a Cell are placed in
    the same space as the top Cell. This is the case of a deeply
    hierarchical design made of only standard cells that are to
    be placed in a "flat" manner.
      The design is uniquified then the intermediate instances models,
    which should be unique at that point have their QuadTree merged
    through a call to Instance::slaveAbutmentBox(). That method will
    make the model of the instance use the QuadTree of the Cell to
    which the instance belong. The instance model no longer posseses
    a dedicated QuadTree. As a corollary the abutment box of both
    Cell are kept identical and the Instance has it's transformation
    set to (0,0,ID).
      Remark: when we talk about "QuadTree", we mean in fact the
    QuadTree for the instances *and* the SliceMap (Layer+QuadTree).
      Consequence in Query: when going through the resulting
    "flattened" QuadTree we will find objects with an incomplete
    Path du to the fact that we didn't have to explore their
    Instance/Cell level to reach them. The shunted part of the
    Path is stored in the Go master Cell in the _shuntedPath
    attribute. This also affect the displayed depth of hierarchy,
    but not too badly.
* New: In Hurricane, in Cell, new methods:
    - Cell::updatePlacedFlag() : set the placement flags.
    - Cell::isUnique() : one or less instance.
    - Cell::isUniquified() : is the result of an uniquification.
    - Cell::isUniquifyMaster() : is the reference cell of the
    uniquification.
* Change: In Hurricane, in Cell::Uniquify(), uniquify a Cell only
    if it is unplaced. We do not need to duplicate placed Cells
    (see datapathes).

Jean-Paul Chaput fcb4acadad Improvements & bugs corrections in the LEF/DEF importer/exporter.
* Bug: In Hurricane, In NetAlias::removeAlias(), perform the isMaster()
    check on the *current* hook, not the *this* one... Was preventing the
    removal of most aliases.
* New: In CRL Core, in DefExport, perform a virtual flatten before exporting
    a design. Replace the hard-wired "sxlib" gauge by the current default
    one. More secure management of flattened instance and net names (removal
    of all potentially special characters). In net names, correct management
    of vectorized names (do not systematically add "_net" at the end).
      In DefImport, manage the BUSBITS property and revectorize accordingly
    the net names. When loading nets, systematically remove the alias of
    the temporary net "__prebuild__" (a bug in NetAlias was preventing it).
      In LefExport, the right value of MANUFACTURINGGRID in pseudo symbolic
    mode is 0.5 (expressed in lamba). That way all length are even multiples
    of it. Note that there is still the order bug of the 5.7 drivers that
    puts that entry *before* UNITS in the LEF file (bad bad Cadence).

Jean-Paul Chaput d769fafe92 Forgotten files for ST CMOS065 techno (real). 2015-06-12 17:58:30 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput e2fcfcb699 Rationalization of Cell's flags. Compilation warnings hunt.
* New: In Hurricane, dedicated class BaseFlags to wrap a set of flags.
    Similar to the Mask class, only with a slightly different semantic.
    Encapsulation of <unsigned int>.
      Also provide support for the Inspector, to have a human-readable
    display of the flags.
* Change: In Hurricane, in Cell, regroup all the flags under a Flags
    sub-class of Cell. No more mixing between booleans and bit flags.
    (first use of BaseClass).
* In Hurricane, CRL Core & Knik, many small corrections to suppress
    annoying warning messages at compile time.
      Most noticeably, Bison errors in VstParserGrammar generated by
    rules and token with mismatched return value type. This was not
    problematic because the badly defined return value where not used.
    But still...
2015-06-10 15:49:58 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 701487247d Bug in VHDL portmap. Too strict checking in Kite & Etesian ::setViewer().
* Bug: In CRL Core, in VectorPortMap::VhdlPortMap(), if the connection
    was made to *non-contiguous* bits of an otherwise *contiguous* vector,
    it was using a span instead of the separate bits. Now check that
    bits are contiguous (delta: +1/-1) and the delta do not change of
    sign.
* Change: In Etesian & Kite, the Python interface function ::setViewer()
    was checking that the argument was indeed a CellViewer, but in text
    mode it is None. Now, silently ignore the argument if it cannot be
    converted into CellViewer.
2015-06-08 12:01:32 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 51043df640 Merge "collections" branch from <github> (G. Gouvine).
* New: In Hurricane, in Collection add simple STL iterator support.
    So now the C++11 "for" instruction can be used instead of the
    in-house "forEach".
      Example:
         forEach ( Component*, icomponent, net->getComponents() ) {
           cout << (*icomponent) << endl;
         }
      Become:
         for ( Component icomponent : net->getComponents() ) {
           cout << icomponent << endl;
         }
2015-06-08 11:51:09 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2906d90b04 Re-activate the LEF/DEF symbolic exporter (for benchmarking).
* Change: In bootstrap, in FindLEFDEF.cmake, adds my personal path where
    the LEF/DEF libraries are to be found (~jpc/oa/lefdef/5.7-s038/).
* Change: In CRL Core, in LEF/DEF exporters, use the default routing
    gauge and cell gauge, instead of systematically requiring "sxlib".
      IMPORTANT: In order to build a *shared* library including the
    *static* LEF/DEF libraries, those libraries, even if static, must
    be build with the "-fPIC" flag (otherwise the compiler complains).
    I have done so on my 64 bit build of LEF/DEF, but it's a completly
    *local* patch. You may have to do it manually on your installations.
2015-06-07 14:12:00 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 9ac199f11b Change in policy for duplicate libraries.
* Change: In CRL Core, replace duplicated libraries, even when performing
    a Append/Prepend operation. Also correct a bug in library name
    uniquification, event if it's no used. The policy in cas of duplicate
    libraries is not completly clear for me, still.
2015-06-07 11:05:01 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 445104eaf7 Start to support high DPI screen (> 192dpi).
* New: In Hurricane, in Graphics, add a new static method ::isHighDpi()
    which returns true if the DPI is greater than 192. A "normal" screen
    is typically 96dpi, we sets the trigger at twice that value.
      Then in all the widgets with size settings, we uses that method to
    select the more appropriate size.
2015-06-06 18:41:28 +02:00
Gabriel Gouvine fd994e51fe Merged bug fixes and improvements
* Steiner tree topology
* Install path detection
* Additional Alliance layer

2015-06-02 10:36:21 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 20ac9080d6 Do not generate IEEE VHDL when driving vst files (silly me). 2015-05-21 14:55:38 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f8a72288aa Better handling of exceptions between C++ & Python. Misc. checks.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in PyHurricane.h the macro HCATCH was not catching
    standard STL exceptions. This was the source of the cryptic message:
        "Fatal Python error: Py_EndInterpreter: thread still has a frame"
    The Python interpreter was interrupted uncleanly bypassing it's own
    exceptions mechanism.
      In PyViewer, the Viewer *do not* inherit from a base class (in the
    Python export).
* New: In Hurricane, in DbU, compute maximum values (in double) for
    grid, lambda & physical (in meter) so now the DbU::toGrid(),
    DbU::toLambda() & DbU::toPhysical() methods can check for out of
    bound values, and throw an exception.
* Change: In Hurricane, ExceptionWidget::catchAllWrapper() now returns
    a boolean, set to <true> if an exception has been catched. Allow
    callers to interrupt themselves if a problem has occured.
* Bug: In Kite & Etesian, in the Python wrapper, send a Python exception
    if catchAllwrapper() did return true, instead of continuing...
* Change: In Kite & Etesian, adds a setViewer() method (exported in Python)
    to use the graphical ExceptionWidget when in graphic mode.
* Bug: In Cumulus, in PadsCorona.py the check for the core vs. chip size
    was not returning False when invalid.
* New: In CRL Core, in Vst driver, add a support IEEE VHDL. Inactive for
    now as I don't see clearly the policy for selecting it or not.
      Remove the code of the old Vst driver.
      In Blif parser, check for non-existent models (incomplete or
    corrupted Blif file). Found by G. Gouvine.
* New: Added extras file for IDE-like support under Emacs.
2015-05-20 14:03:59 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 909f86b4fc Added support for IEEE VHDL in the Vst parser (std_logic).
* New: In CRL Core, in VstParser, support IEEE VHDL, with tokens
    <library> and <use>. If "use IEEE.std_logic_1164.ALL" is present
    the file will be considered to be IEEE compliant.
      To be precise, the parser now support any mix between Alliance
    and IEEE VHDL. So you can have both <std_logic> and <wor_bit>
    in the same file, but it is unclean to do that.
      The two extensions ".vhd" & ".vhdl" are supported.
      The drivers still always creates Alliance VHDL.
2015-05-10 17:16:00 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a2d4f01ca3 New Library Manager Widget. Access with Tools menu or CTRL+M.
* New: In CRL Core, created a LibraryManager widget. It provides a
    composite information based on what is present, for each
    Alliance library:
    1. - A Cell in memory, without Catalog::State.
    2. - A Catalog::State, with or whithout the Cell in memory.
    3. - The files of the Cell in the librariy's directory.
    4. - A file with a format referenced for one of the importers.
      File type recognition is based *only* on the file extension,
    so it may easily confused. Be careful about what you put in
    the library's directory.
      One of the big limitation is that it will not display Hurricane
    libraries that do not have the AllianceLibrary extension.
      This widget is put in a separate library <libmanager>, included
    in the default CRLCORE_LIBRARIES.
* Change: In CRL Core, in State (through the loader), now sets the
    InMemory flag (event if nobody uses it yet...). Display it in
    the state _getString().
      In AllianceFramework, new getAllianceLibraries() method.
      In CatalogExtension, make the static method "get()" publicly
    accessible, for sometimes we want the whole State.
* Bug: In vlsisapd, in Path, the pathcache was not rebuild when it
    should, leading to incorrect results.
* New: In vlsisapd, in Path, added a listdir() method to access the
    contents of a directory and a stat() method to poll the status
    of a file/directory.
      Rename the ".string()" method in ".toString()" to avoid
    tricky name resolution with std::string, refactor in all the
    other tools.
* Change: In Hurricane, in Controller, no longer oversize the fonts
    of the table's headers.
* New: In Unicorn, in UnicornGui, integrate LibraryManager.
2015-05-09 17:03:17 +02:00
Gabriel Gouvine dc0485935d Better error messages
* Error messages are more explicit in Ap and Blif parsers
* Warns when not using tie cells
* New layer synonym in ApParser for easier format conversion
* Blif import is now on top
2015-05-02 22:10:42 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 06e5e3060c Complete rewrite of the VHDL (Vst) driver. True handling of vectors.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in NetAlias, bad Record construction of the _next
    field.
* New: In CRL Core, in VstDriver complete replacement of the old Vst
    driver. Needed cleaner architecture to manage correctly files
    importeds through the Blif parser, which are Verilog like.
      It is build as an extension trough property and is not kept
    in sync with the Cell. So it's use should be transient only.
* Change: In CRL Core, in NamingScheme forgot to change '.' (dot)
    forbidden character into '_'.
* Change: In Cumulus, in the RSave plugins, remove the VHDL extensions
    after saving.
2015-05-02 18:39:35 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 479429e12d Support for .gates and .mlatch in Blif. Ap parser beautifying. 2015-04-29 10:41:43 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 770b1fbbbc Support for Uniquification. Rewrite of the Blif parser.
* New: In Hurricane, In NetAlias & Net, add an AliasList collection to
    iterate over all the aliases names (this *not* include the main
    net name).
* New: In Hurricane, In Cell, Instance & Net add support for cloning and
    uniquification (update documentation).
      All Cells that are uniquified from a given model are kept in an
    Uniquify relation. This relation allows to get all the clones and
    generate unique clone names by adding a "_uXX" suffix.
* Bug: In Hurricane, the Cell::_isFlattenLeaf attribute was not initialized
    in the constructor.
* Change: In CRL Core, in AllianceFramework::getCell(), no longer destroy
    a partially loaded Cell in case of parser failure, let the incomplete
    Cell be.
* New: In CRL Core, in ApParser, if all the instances are placed, sets the
    Cell::Placed flag.
* Change: In CRL Core, in BlifParser, complete rewrite of the parser.
    Not so good an idea afterwards...
* New: In Etesian, uniquify the design before placing.
* Change: In Kite, display the list of unrouted wired after all other
    statistics.
2015-04-25 16:52:18 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 4023481da3 Add a state to Cell to know if is placed and/or routed.
* New: In Hurricane, In Cell, add Placed and Routed flags to know the
    state of the Cell.
* Change: In CRL Core, In ApDriver, do not save the RoutingPads as
    external connectors if the design is *not* routed (create
    conflics on reload with the newly generated RoutingPads).
* Change: In Etesian, set the Placed flag on the Cell.
* Change: In Kite, set the Routed flag on the Cell.
* Change: In Cumulus, in RSavePluginAll, save the layout only if it
    has a bounding box.
2015-04-16 16:52:33 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ef9936e87c Support for Net alias names. Blif parser enhancements.
* New: In Hurricane, In Net & Cell, support for Net aliases names.
    Use a structure based on a simple ring of NetAliasHook. The Net
    holds a global map, sorted by names of all the aliases of all Nets.
    Elements NetAliasesHook of the map are slaves of ring whose master
    is an attribute of the Net (it is *not* in the map, as the primary
    name of the Net).
      In case of merge, the aliases of both Nets are merged and the
    name of the merged one become an alias.
      The Cell::getNet() looks in both the Net map and the aliases to
    find a Net by name.
* Bug: In CRL Core, in coriolisInit.py, reoder the loading of the
    configuration files so the real technology is read as early as
    possible to set up the <gridsPerLambda> factor before any lambda
    is actually computed...
* Bug: In CRL Core, in AcmSigda, do not try to fed the file when it
    has failed to be opened. Throw a clean exception instead.
* New: In CRL Core, in Toolbox, add a NamingScheme object to convert
    a design into VHDL compliant names (mainly from Blif/Verilog).
    This is extensible in any case.
* New: In CRL Core, in BlifParser, slightly more informative warning
    messages. Align the loading progress information on the other
    parsers.
      Add a capability to select which component of the design will
    be returned, if there are more than one. Use the "." as separator.
    For exemple you can request "Processor.Alu", which will load
    the "Alu" component from the design in "Processor.blif".
      To be able to save a Blif loaded design, systematically convert
    all the name for VHDL compliance, as it is the format used by
    the Coriolis native files (vst).
      Export the Blif parser to the Python interface.
* New: In Kite, In NegociateWindow, add a counter of the number of
    remaining events. Gives an idea of the ETA...
* New: In Unicorn, in cgt.by, add an option to load a Blif design from
    the command line.
* New: In Cumulus, new RSave plugin to save both netlist & layout.
    Partly redundant with the previous one. Have to better organize
    that later.
2015-04-16 15:40:02 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2cbb072e6c Merge branch 'github/Blif', fast blif parser. 2015-04-13 18:55:06 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput db60fe0aa6 New coriolis launcher. Configuration files cleanup.
* Change: In CRL Core, simplify the loading sequence. The technology,
    both symbolic and real is now loaded directly from coriolisInit.py
    and not through the Alliance loader. This was a leftover from the
    time configuration was in XML. Remove others traces of XML loading.
      Remove SYMB_TECHNO_NAME, REAL_TECHNO_NAME & DISPLAY from the Alliance
    environement, as they was no longer used.
      Note that technology *still* need to be loader *after* Alliance
    framework has been initialized.
      Gauge information is moved from <alliance.conf> to <kite.conf>.
* Bug: In Coloquinte, in optimization_subproblems.cxx static variables
    must not be inlined. Generate a problem when linking in debug mode
    (seems the symbol gets optimised out).
* Bug: In Katabatic, in Grid::getGCell(), when the coordinate is *outside*
    the area, do not try to find a GCell, directly return NULL.
* New: In Unicorn, create a generic command launcher named "coriolis" which
    automatically take cares of all environement setup, then run a command
    by default, it's <cgt>, but it can be anything. For example: <zsh>.

Jean-Paul Chaput 69c75b9ea9 Rewrite the Unicorn ImportCell to allow new formats to be hooked in.
* New: In Hurricane, In CellWidget, add methods to emit CellPreModificated
    and CellPostModificated Qt signals (from non-Qt aware objects).
* New: In Unicorn, In ImportCell, parsers are now dynamically hooked
    in the importer, allowing third party application (i.e. Chams) to
    add their own. See the ImportCell::addImporter() method.
* Bug: In Unicorn, in FindUNICORN.cmake, seems to be unable to detect
    the UnicornGui.h. Not a blocking problem because the include dir
    is shared with other tools correctly detected. But still...

Jean-Paul Chaput a7c4e8b02e Python Script launcher extended to accomodate Chams.
* New: In VLSISAPD, in Configuration, add a new priority level UserFile
    to distinguish between the system configuration files and the user's
    configuration files (which take precedence).
* New: In Hurricane, in Script (Python), improve the API to be able
    to support Chams (and remove the duplicate capability from it).
      Add separate functions to perform the initialize/run(s)/finalize
    cycle step by step.
* Change: In CRL Core, rename real technology <hcmos9> to <hcmos9gp>,
    it's offcial name from CMP/ST. This is the 130nm.
      Move the reading of the symbolic & real technologies names from
    coriolisInit.py to helpers.__init__.py, to be shared with
    chamsInit.py.
      To avoid a clash of names inside of helpers, the two variables
    of techno.py are renamed "symbolicTechnology" and "realTechnology".
      Move python init system from crlcore/src/crlcore to crlcore/python.
* New: In CRL Core, In Utilities, add site-packages/pharos to the
    PYTHONPATH.
* Change: In Kite, move python init system from kite/src/init to
    kite/python.

Jean-Paul Chaput bddf1ceef5 Ispd05 bookshelf parser bad scaling bug correction.
* Bug: In CRL Core, in Ispd05Bookshelf, as the pitch is already expressed
    in DbU, do not apply DbU::toLambda() in any expression where it is used.
* Change: In Etesian, In AddFeeds, do not try insert feeds if there is no
    cell feed avalaible.
2015-03-02 23:29:08 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 8566126acc Adding Configuration support to Etesian.
* Change: In Bootstrap & ccb, the coloquinte project is renamed into
    "importeds", it will be the home of all the externally
    devellopped softwares that are needed to build Coriolis.
      Add explicit support for Fedora ("Linux.fc") and uses
    site-packages, as everybody else.
* New: In CRL Core, in etc/, adds the configuration files for Etesian.
* New: In Etesian, activate the Configuration object. Now uses it's
    own configuration variables instead of borrowing those of
    Nimbus & Mauka.
* Change: In Documentation, updated User's Guide to present Etesian
    as the placer, instead of Mauka.
* Change: In Cumulus, slight change in ClokTreePlugin and ChipPlugin
    to match the new Etesian/Python interface.
2015-02-27 18:16:03 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput bd3984a313 Correctly manage clock net isolateds from the main clock.
* New: In Bootstrap, in ccb.py, check if cmake is installed and issue
    a warning, if not.
* New: In Hurricane, added Cell::getDeepNet() to search for a deepnet
    given a path and a leaf net. This method is slow and must not be
    used too often. Introduced for Kite::BuildPowerRails().
* Change: In CRL Core, in cmos/alliance.conf, modify the clock name
    pattern to match the sub-clock signals in the datapath operators.
* Bug: In Etesian, do not blindly reset the top cell abutment-box.
    Do it only if it's empty, otherwise keep it.
* Bug: In Kite, in buildPowerRails(), in getRootNet() the management
    of clock nets was incomplete. The case of unrouted clock nets
    that where not connected to the top core clock net, like the
    one in the datapath registers was faulty. They were partly
    recognized as unrouteds and partly as blockage generating a
    routing deadlock: routage impossible due to blockage generated
    from itself...
* New: In Stratus1, add a buildModel() utility function to automate
    the model generation and allow a call by the model name (string).
* Change: In Unicorn, in cgt.py, display the Alliance environement.
2015-02-25 22:22:16 +01:00
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').
2015-02-24 13:13:17 +01:00
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 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).
2015-02-01 23:24:13 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a09e716ce9 More talkative VST parser.
* Change: In CRL Core, in VstParserGrammar.yy display in which mode a file
    is read. Behavioral, structural or model. Model is the step of reading
    the instance's models before truly reading the file.
      In addition, a small optimization, when in behavioral mode, parse
    the file only once.
2014-12-12 18:40:12 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 8eac4b4b6f More robust VST parser.
* Bug: In CRL Core, in VstParserGrammar.yy & VstParserScanner.ll, accurate
    error message positions (file & line numbers).
      When generating error message, we cannot pass char* on variables that
    will be deallocated by the throw. So generate a string that will be
    copied along with the exception. That problems explain numerous
    core-dump when encountering syntaxes errors in the file.
2014-12-11 23:56:59 +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 60b0aa5ca7 Rename user's configuration (again), to use '.py' extentions.
* Change: In CRL Core, in coriolisInit.py user configuration files are
    now suffixed ".py" instead of ".conf" (for settings & techno).
2014-10-03 19:11:06 +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 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...
2014-09-13 17:45:30 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f85159bdb4 More accurate error message in Python module importation. 2014-09-07 23:16:04 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ae4d938553 Buffer cell configuration in ClockTree. More config parameters in Chip.
* New: In ClockTree plugin, select the name of the buffer cell through
    configuration (parameter: "clockTree.buffer"), and guess the I/O
    name of this buffer automatically.
      Put configuration parameters in plugin.conf and not mauka.conf.
      Bug: strangely triggers a coredump in components collection
    when used with <vsxlib>. Some debug printing still active until
    that is solved.
* New: In Chip plugin, make the size and numbers of the block rails
    configuration parameters (in plugin.conf).
2014-09-02 11:17:47 +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).
2014-08-15 19:26:49 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput fb4a7457a1 First basic version of ClockTree & Chip plugins.
* New: In Cumulus, first versions of the ClockTree and Chip plugins.
    Clock Tree plugin:
    - It is strongly advised to use have 4 metal routing layers for the
      tree to work. Otherwise, problems can arise with the detailed
      routing (fully obstructed terminals).
    - H-Tree can only be build (for now) for design with a form factor
      between 0.5 an 2.
    - The tree is created at the block top-level and only the leafs are
      trans-hierarchically created on the instances/models. The new
      cell with a clock tree, along with all it's sub-models is created
      with a "_clocked" suffix.
    - Leaf cells are connected through a simple Minimum Steiner Tree.
    - Shorts are avoided by a systematic shift of the wires according
      to their kind. No wire must pre-exist. When used as a sub-module
      of "chip" the wires cannot be moved. When created on a block,
      the wires can be loaded in the detailed router as manual global
      router.
    Chip Plugin:
    - Perform the pad placement and corona creation. Replacement at
      last of the clunky code from Wu Yifei.
    - Relies on a Python configuration file '<design>_chip.py' with
      a "chip" dictionnary.
2014-08-15 19:05:27 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 20f8d004e2 In ACSII/GDS driver, process the complete hierarchy.
* Bug: In CRL Core, in agdsDriver, the flags of the Query where sets to
   process only the top-level Cell. Now process the whole hierarchy (the
   Cell is completly flattened by this operation). Secondary bug: the
   transformation was not applied to the bounding boxes, resulting of
   all the cells stacked in (0,0) ...
2014-08-15 11:48:41 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput fbeef95c0f Added support for MOSIS 180nm SCMOS technology (SCN6M_DEEP).
* New: In CRL Core, added configuration for SCMOS_DEEP symbolic technology
   up to 180nm "scmos_deep_018". It is postfixed "_018" because it is not
   yet compliant with 130nm (asymetrical VIA metal extensions).
     Added the associated real technology SCN6M_DEEP (TSMC 180nm).
2014-08-03 16:36:21 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 206309ddd9 No longer directly use C++ exported symbols in configuration files.
* Change: In CRL Core, in Alliance.py, no longer requires the
    configuration file to uses symbols from CRL.Environment or
    CRL.RoutingLayerGauge. This way the <alliance.conf> file can be
    parsed by a different parser.
      In <alliance.conf>, for the various technologies, make uses
    of the new C++ independent constants.
* New: In CRL Core, in helpers/__init__.py, provide a "Dots" class
    (rewrite the C++ one in pure Python).
2014-08-03 16:25:26 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput e01f943367 Added ASCII/GDSII export capability in Unicorn.
* New: In Unicorn, in ExportCellDialog and UnicornGui add an entry to
    call the ASCII/GDSII export driver.
* New: In CRL Core, in AgdsDriver, checks for off-grid coordinates (that
    is non-integer one) and round them with a warning. This is most
    likely that the layout is flawed but it will at leat generate a
    readable ASCII/GDSII file.
2014-07-31 19:40:23 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 0fab6087fa Start of Alliance/Python encapsulation layer.
* New: In Cumulus, new Alliance.py module (*not* a plugin) providing
    an encapsulation for Alliance command line tools. The other main
    feature is that it provides a "Makefile like" behavior. Based on
    the command dependencies a DAG is contructed, then a static
    ordering of the commands. Commands are then executed to rebuild
    outdated target.
      The Alliance environment supplied to the commands is read from
    the Coriolis configuration file <alliance.conf>.
      For this first evaluation version, only <boom>, <boog> and
    <loon> support are provided.
      It still not clear how to encapsulate the Coriolis tools in
    the same way.
* Change: In CRL Core, in helpers/__init__.py, change the way the static
    initialization (module) is done. All the commands are put inside
    a "staticInitialization()" function, which is then explicitly
    called by others. This is a better solution agains *no* or *twice*
    initialization. Modificate <coriolisInit.py> accordingly (as
    <Alliance.py> from Cumulus.
2014-07-27 16:23:27 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a2ba6c2904 Support for Windows/Cygwin, part 3.
* Change: In CRL Core/Cyclop, Hurricane/PyHApplication and vlsisapd/ConfEditorMain,
    disable the use of GtkStyle under Cygwin.
2014-07-23 16:53:43 +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 25e82fc701 Complete replacement of the Chip placement Python scripts.
Finally get rid of the demonic code from Wu Yifei...
* New: In Isobar, added encapsulation of Interval (don't know how have
    forgotten it for so long).
* Change: In Isobar, In PyLayer, new PyLink_LayerDerived() function to
    create/link the C++ object to the correct derived class and not the
    base one (PyLayer) which then prevent to use the specialized methods.
    Must replace PyLink_Layer() througout all the code.
* Change: In Isobar, in PyPoint the "setX()" & "setY()" methods where
    still capitalized.
* Change: In Isobar, in PyQuery, complete the exportation of the C++
    interface. remove the code belonging to a more "boost" way of
    building the Python interface (will do that in a far future).
* New: In CRL Core, In PyAllianceFramework, export isPad() method.
* Change: In Unicorn, in unicornInit.py, protect the loading of each
    single plugin by a "try" / "except" clause to the failing of one
    plugins do not stop the loading of the next one.
      Pass the same dictionnary argument to unicornHook() as for
    ScripMain(), this is more uniform this way.
* New: In Cumulus, complete replacement of the chip placement scripts
    from Wu Yifei (at last!). The clock-tree integration is still to
    be done.
________________________________________________________________________
2014-07-21 13:18:34 +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 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 7296dcd6fb Make the Python interface closely mirroring the C++ one.
* Change: In Isobar, the Python interface was not exactly mirroring the
    C++ one, now it is the case. The Python code should look likes almost
    exactly like the C++ one, the only differences remaining being due
    to the languages respective syntaxes. Note that in the case of
    constructor functions, it leads to a slightly longer notation in
    Python that it could have been (mimic the ".create()" static
    member). Main modifications:
    1. Mirror the static constructor syntax with create():
          Cell( ... )   ==>  Cell.create( ... )
    2. Correct hierarchy for constants in Instance, Net, Pin
       & Transformation. For example:
          Hurricane.PlacementStatusFIXED
                     ==> Hurricane.Instance.PlacementStatus.FIXED
          Hurricane.OrientationID
                     ==> Hurricane.Transformation.Orientation.ID
          Hurricane.TypeLOGICAL  ==>  Hurricane.Net.Type.LOGICAL
          Hurricane.DirectionIN  ==>  Hurricane.Net.Direction.IN
* Change: In CRL Core, correction to match the improved Python API
    in the configutation helpers.
* Change: In Cumulus, correction to match the improved Python API.
* Change: In Stratus, correction to match the improved Python API.
* Change: In Documenation, update for the new Python interface
    (both user's guide & examples).
* Note: We must port those changes into Chams for it to continue
   to run.
* Change: In Documenation, update the Python script support part.
2014-06-29 14:26:59 +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 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.
2014-06-10 16:58:52 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2af6e7eef1 Correct exception catching when creating invalid occurrence in Isobar.
* New: In CRL Core, in PyCellGauge, add the missing methods.
* Bug: In Isobar, PyOccurrence_create(), the HTRY/HCATCH block was not
    enclosing the constructor of Occurrence, which can throw exceptions.
    When an exception was thown the Python interpreter just terminate
    with the cryptic message:
      "Fatal Python error: Py_EndInterpreter: thread still has a frame"
    Reminder to myself: when such a message occurs, it means that the
    interpreter did encounter a problem, but it's related to the isobar
    interface.
2014-06-10 00:17:41 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput da5fb18971 Added support for Ninja in <ccb> (bootstrap). Minor fixes in CMakefiles. 2014-06-10 00:11:42 +02:00
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 70b896fc96 More configuration sharing.
* Change: In CRL Core, .../etc/, put all that's shared under .../common/,
    all layouts and some settings not technologically dependant.
2014-05-27 15:40:42 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput db4c811d75 Added a common configuartion part for kite.conf (containing the layout) 2014-05-26 14:22:19 +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.
2014-05-25 15:00:35 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 8bc7bd38db Add a common/ to share the trunk of symbolic technologies configurations.
In CRL Core configuration files, "display.conf", "patterns.conf" and
"technology.conf" share most of their code. So that common part is put
into "common/" and sourced from the final configuration file.
Update the documentation according the the new initialization scheme.
2014-05-22 00:13:17 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 4439d3a142 Added support for multiple symbolic+real technology in configuration.
In CRL Core, the layout of the files under "/coriolis2/etc" changes.
Instead of having them directly under "etc", they are now replicated,
in subdirectories. Each subdirectory having the name of the associated
symbolic or real technology (they are kept separated). We have, for
now:
* etc/cmos/    : symbolic, the Alliance original one.
* etc/vsc200/  : symbolic, for G. Petley vsclib.
* etc/hcmos9/  : real, generic fake (130nm).
To tell which pair (symbolic,real) technologies must be used we create
a *second* (sigh) configuration file "coriolis2_techno.conf", and it's
hidden counterpart in the user's account, to set it up. It needs to be
separate because it is read as early as possible and select which set
of configuration files would be read.

Also add support up to METAL8 and POLY2 in CRL core and it's Alliance
parser/drivers.
2014-05-21 14:50:22 +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 65d2cc98b8 Small correction for latest gcc compiler (Fedora). 2014-05-14 10:44:14 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 724d92f816 Adding support for WOR_BIT in Net::Direction.
Modificate Alliance vst parser/drivers so now the wor_bit and wor_vector
are correctly loaded and written back (instead of degenrated into INOUT).
2014-05-13 17:11:48 +02:00
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 e364edca52 Take account of fixed placement in Bookshelf & Ispd 05 parser. 2014-05-07 23:12:37 +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.

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 9501b88110 First barebone implementation of Etesian. Support for ISPD05 benchmark.
Details:
* New: In <vlsispad/utilities>, new objet Dots for displaying a kind
    of progress bar.
* Change: In <vlsisapd/bookshelf>, keywords are now case-insensitive.
    Added a "strict syntax" option (to be disabled for ISPD05).
* New: First working implementation of Etesian, at least for ISPD05
    "bigblue1".
* Change: In <hurricane>, in Cell::flattenNets(), no longer display
    a warning if an instance is unplaced, this does not make sense
    when the circuit is not placed.
* New: In <crlcore>, Added translator for ISPD05 bookshelf, the
    circuit is *not* placed, unlike in ISPD04 and terminal nodes
    *are* true cells.
* New: In <unicorn>, added entry in import cell for ISPD05 benchmarks.
2014-03-25 00:59:12 +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.

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.

Jean-Paul Chaput b4887b1180 * ./hurricane/doc/hurricane:
- Change: In Cell, added doc about PlacementStatus.
    - Change: In Transformation, more detailed explanations about the

    - Change: RoutingPad doc update.
    - Change: Entity doc update (for id).
    - Change: In HTML header/footer uses the new SoC.css.

  * ./crlcore/src:
    - Change: In DefDriver, added support for placement exportation.
    - New: In Utility, added a "paranoid" output stream (for my extra
       warnings in the router).
    - Bug: In ApParser, correct parsing of connectors index (recreate

- New: In Environment, adds a method getLIBRARYPath() to directly access the
        path of an element in the SearchPath. Also added to the Python interface.
          This is a quick alternative to fully export SearchPath and it's element
        into the Python interface.

        low).
2012-12-22 18:21:40 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 08b7e3971f * ./crlcore:
- Bug: In Histogram::addSample(), reject the sample if iset is superior
        OR EQUAL to the sets size...
    - Change: In etc/mauka.conf, sets "mauka.standardAnnealing" to True. Otherwise,
        when hMetis (4-part) is not used, this leads toward very poor placements.
    - New: In UsersGuide, add a third style variant for the soc-extras site.
2012-12-09 11:18:07 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 266906798b * ./crlcore/doc:

Jean-Paul Chaput 2012f14acf * All Tools:
- New: Added FreeBSD/Ubuntu patches from Otacilio De Araujo
       (<otaciliodearaujo@gmail.com>).

  * ./crlcore:
    - New: In Utilities, cbug stream to separate all the scary messages
        from Kite/Katabatic and maybe others.
    - New: In stratus1.conf, adds default settings previously in st_config.
    - New: Moves Python configuration helpers from under /etc/coriolis2
        into PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES/crlcore. Adapt Utilities so coriolisInit.py
        is now searched in that directory. This way only true configuration
        files remains under /etc/coriolis2
    - Change: In helpers/__init__.py, do not try to guess the sysConfDir
        when not run through coriolisInit.py. This is done by exploring the
        call stack with traceback.
    - Change: In ApDriver, when a physical view is driven, update the flag
        in the catalog state telling that this view is present. This is far
        from satisfactory as this flag should be set as soon as any physical
        component is created.

- Bug: In ApParser.cpp, the connectors where not parsed. The problem
        was not showing if you run all Stratus scripts in the same process
        as the caching mechanism will prevent the parsing of the disk file
        and uses the memory copy (which is correct).

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 c86e720066 * ./crlcore:
- Change: Rename "obstacle" to "blockage" in all the places it still appears
        to be completly homogeneous.
    - 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.

    - Change: Now also read a <.coriolis2.configuration.xml> in the user's
        root account (before the directory specific one and after the system-
        wide).
    - Change: In verbose mode, also display what environment files are being
        read.
    - Change: No more reference to CRL_CATA_LIB in error messages.
    - Change: Suppress stratus2sxlib obsolete library.

Jean-Paul Chaput 2c50fae3d3 * ./crlcore/src/ccore:
- New: In Utilities, uses the new Backtrace to print the stack before
        core-dumping.
    - New: In Environment, pattern recognition of Pad model names.
    - New: In AllianceFramework, pattern recognition of Pad model names.
    - Bug: In Measures, add inspector support and uses pointer to prevent using
        copy construction. Makes the inspector to core-dump.
    - New: In RoutingLayerGauge, inspector support for Constant::Direction.
    - Change: In ApDriver, correct managment of BIGVIA sizes. BIGVIA in one
        metal keep their sizes, but BIGVIA whith cut must be expandeds to
        contains their enclosure in metals. In Hurricane VIA size are relatives
        to the cut but in Alliance, to the biggest metal.
          Generate correct direction (always UP or RIGHT) for segments.
    - Change: In ApParser, shrink BIGVIA to the size of their cut from the
        Alliance format. Avoid VIA "bloating".
          More thorough verification of Segment data coherency, mainly with
        direction.  
          Suppress warning of non-existent logical instance in the special
        case of "padreal".
    - Change: In VstParserGrammar, perform an explicit plug connection on globals
        Nets if the names of globals Nets differs.
    - New: In display.xml, add style for printers (B&W).
    - Bug: In technology.symbolic.xml, BLOCKAGE6 was associated to metal6 instead
        of blockage6.
          Correct extensions value for VIA metal layers above cut1.
    - Bug: In Utilities, in System singleton constructor check of duplicated
        type_info/RTTI initialization. Occurs when python modules are useds.
        CRL must always be included first.

Jean-Paul Chaput 4426fc4f0c * ./crlcore:
- New: In AllianceFramework constructor, now look for an XML configuration
        file in the current directory (<cwd>/.environment.alliance.xml).
    - New: DefParser, DefDriver & LefDriver are replaced by DefImport, DefExport
        and LefExport (resp.). LEF/DEF parser/driver are no longer integrated
        in among Alliance ones due to too much difference in data organisation.
        Instead they are build as Import/Export utilities.
    - New: Iccad04Lefdef import the ICCAD'04 benchmarks into the SxLib format
        suitable for Knik/Kite. They are derived from the ISPD'98 (ibm01--ibm18)
        benchmarks. Many corrections are applieds to ensure a more realistic
        representation.
          Generate a new library from the LEF file "on the fly".
    - New: Ispd04Bookshelf import the ISPD'04 benchmarks in SxLib from bookshelf.
        Thoses benchmarks can be placeds whith fastplace. Unfortunatly fastplace
        do not manage blocks and reduce them to standard cell which is not
        usable for detailed placement. Too bad, the parser exists still.
          Make uses of the new vlsisapd/bookshelf parser. A whole library is
        generated "on the fly" on the basis of "one node, one Cell" (so we have
        a bijection between Cell and Instance). The result of this parsing is
        different from the one of the stand-alone ispd04 binary in the sense it
        fits the circuit to the SxLib gauge thus changing the routing capacity:
        from 16 to 20.
    - Change: In ApDriver, the lookup modify the lookup table for matching
        Alliance layers against Hurricane ones, "OBSTACLEx" became "BLOCKAGEx".
    - Change: In default <enviromnent.alliance.xml> adds the name of the
        blockage net: "^obstacleNet$". Some work over the coherency of the
        blockage managment remains to be done.
    - Change: In AllianceFramework, partial rewrite of the get/creation of
        AllianceLibrary to fit the requirements of the "on the fly" generation
        from the benchmarks loaders. And correct some bugs by the way.
    - Change: In Environment, suppress any reference to LEF technology as LEF/
        DEF is now used as import/exports.
    - Bug: In VstDriver, perform only one lookup for global signals among all
        nets and not for each instance master cell. That was making the driver
        quadratic! Now it's linear and reasonably fast.

Jean-Paul Chaput 32cd2304e9 * 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.

  * ./crlcore:
    - In PyCRL, module method "getAllianceFramework()" moved as static object
        method "get()" of AllianceFramework. Object AllianceFramework added
        to module CRL.

Jean-Manuel Caba eac3f7a932 More verbose and simpler FindOPENACCESS.cmake script
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

    - Change: In buildCoriolis.py, no longer uses the DESTDIR but instead
        CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

Jean-Paul Chaput cd7a294ca9 * ./crlcore:
- Cleanup: No longer import the std namespace in headers.
    - Bug: In Measures.h, incoherent prototyping of getMeasure() template.
    - Change: In Environment, SearchPath & the XML format, slight change to
        allow overwriting of Alliance library pathes. Instead of having an
        attribute on the <system> node that applies to all libraries, we
        have a "mode" attribute in each <library> node.
          "mode" can takes three values:
            1. - "append" : the library path is added in tail of the list.
            2. - "prepend" : the library path is added in head of the list.
            3. - "replace" : if the library already exists in the pathes,
                    this ones replaces it, whitout modifiying the order.
                    If it doesn't exists, it simply appended.
          The "replace" mode is the one to be used if a users wants to shadow
        system libraries by his own versions (sets in ~/.environment.alliance.xml).

Jean-Paul Chaput 245185de14 * 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.

  * ./crlcore:
    - New: In Utilities, The Dots class which allow nice pretty printing on
        a terminal (like lines of books summaries).

Add missing liboaCM.so shared by the core libraries in OA version of si2 and Cadence,
also add a copyright note.

Jean-Paul Chaput 448a345a26 * ./crlcore:
- New: In AllianceFramework, getInstancesCount() to count the number of
        instances in a Cell. The count can be recursive or not or ignore or
        not feed cells. This could be viewed as a very simple query, and has
        to be implemented here because we only new Feed Cell from the CATAL
        of the Alliance Framework.

Jean-Paul Chaput 9a90f87c65 * ./crlcore:
- New: The Measure extension (on any DBo) that allows to save measurement
        and print them later into a file. Mainly to supply gnuplot with datas.
          Obsoletes the "statsExtract.py" script from statistics, and much
        more reliable.
2010-04-17 10:13:48 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput fe7acbc389 * ./crlcore:
- Change: In ToolEngine, adds a static method "destroyAll()" that must be
        called *before* the Hurricane database destruction. This is to avoid
        a mis-oredering in destruction.
          ToolEngines are stored in a property, property are part of the DBo
        base object so are destroyed *after* the Cell derived object has been.
        Thus ToolEngine are deleted *after* the Cell components and if they
        still refers to it, we are doomed.
     - Change: In display.xml, color support for displaying references.

Jean-Paul Chaput ba824a9d3c * All Tools:
- Change: <PROJECT>_SEARCH_PATH are put back into the *first* tool of
         a project.
     - Bug: In HURRICANE_CHECK_MACRO(), the quiet flag was not correctly
         implemented. User ARGV instead of argv (case sensitivity!).
2010-03-19 14:22:18 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 863bc7a4c4 * 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.

Jean-Paul Chaput 20687dc00a * ./crlcore:
- Change: In ApParser, do not stop the parser whenever an external
         component is found on an internal Net. Instead, display a warning,
         sets the Net external and continue.

warnings.
2010-03-11 21:39:12 +00:00
The Coriolis Project 5206920063 * All tools:
- Change: Adaptation to cmake 2.8. No more "add_subdirectory()" when
       the sub directory doesn't hold a CMakeList.txt.
         For "add_definition()", set policy 00005 to NEW.
   - Change: Integrate IO extenal libraries.
   - Change: Small compatibilities between "size_t" and "unsigned int"
       under 64 bits.
   - Change: Temporarily disable Equinox/Solstice in unicorn.
