Jean-Paul Chaput c6f703b1cc New parameter "katana.trackFill" to control the dummy fill ratio. 2021-06-27 20:16:42 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 5a43c1465e Fix badly filled tracks containing blockages.
* Bug: In Track::repair(), consider the blockage net as any other, so
    the metal filling works correctly (correct management of transitions
    between blockage and non-blockage).
2021-06-26 14:36:59 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 46c4cc98df Fill every two tracks in Track::repair() to balance metal density. 2021-06-25 15:55:59 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ddc7aef13b At last make use of cdebug_log() in Track::repair(). 2021-06-17 23:36:35 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f873e616cb Use of tset() manipulator instead of setw() when printing in cdebug_log. 2021-06-17 23:36:22 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2e015ea780 Prune ordinary wires in Katana::PowerRails.
* Change: In Katana::PowerRails, in TerminalNetlist cells instances,
    the ordinary nets components where generating obstacles, leading
    to stupid cross blockages between the obstacle generated by the
    component supporting the routing pad and the RP itself.
      Now only take into account supplies and clocks (any layers)
    and blockage layers.
      Fix symbolic benches.

Jean-Paul Chaput 63d2f69459 Increate the reluctance to go up in Manipulator::moveUp().
* Change: In Katana::Manipulator::moveUp(), the "reserve" value was
    of 0.5 for pivot up and locals, now set it to 1.0, like in all
    other cases ("reserve" is the number of free tracks that is
    needed to allow the move up, in addition the the length being
    moved up).
      Fix routing convergence on the MIPS pipeline bench.

Jean-Paul Chaput 1733b5142a Fix bad index in Track::repair().
* Bug: In Track::repair(), when a same net gap has been found and closed,
    we display a warning. We display the two segments fused, but when it's
    the two first, we must not use index "i-1" (with i=0) ...

Jean-Paul Chaput 68812fa0ca Fix same net gap between the two last elements of a Track.
* Bug: In Track::repair(), the same net gaps between the last and before
    last track elements where overlooked. Leading to very rare DRC
    violations.
2021-06-11 11:46:37 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput d2a621629a Build blockages for all fixed nets in Katana.
* Bug: In Katana::GlobalNetTable::getRootNet(), look for all fixed nets,
    not only supplies and clocks. There may be some as now H-Trees are
    not limited to clocks.
      Should solve ao68000 short circuit cases.
2021-06-02 14:53:45 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 7ad26f1a37 Ignore short overlaping same-net segments in realign stage.
* Change: In Track::addOverlapCost(), in some configuration, we can
    have two overlapping short segments that can *both* be realigned.
    But they prevent that because we account their shared length on
    the track.
      So now, in realign mode only, do not account same-net shared
    length if the segment length is less than *two perpandicular pitches*.
      This helps the antenna protection by making the diode connected
    directly to METAL2 long stripes, and not keeping them isolated.
2021-05-11 14:30:10 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput c137c1ac5b Do not account self-segment in track cost calculation.
* Change: In Katana::Track::addOverlapCost(), if an overlaping segment
    is owned by the net *and* is the one we want to insert, do not take
    it into account in the shared length.
      This case never occured before we introduced the "realign" stage,
    as a to be inserted segment, was, by definition, not already
    inserted in a track. But in the realign stage, it is. So we should
    not account it when computing the insertion cost in the track it
    is already in. This was preventing short segments (less than a
    pitch) to be correctly re-aligned.
      And, as a side effect, preventing the antenna/diodes to work as
    intended (diode connected at METAL3 layer while the antenna occur
    at METAL2 layer).

Jean-Paul Chaput 496cc00304 In Katana, Adjust the moveUp cases in SegmentFsm/Manipulator.
* Change: In SegmentFsm::_slackenLocal(), in the Minimize state, when
    the segment is fully blocked *and* has *lot* of candidate tracks,
    that means that it is up against a *massive* blockage (i.e. a macro
    block). In that case, try to move up (to go *over* it).
      Previous behavior was to go straight to Inimplemented state.
* Change: In SegmentFsm::_slackenGlobal(), manage fully blocked
    global segments. But finally, this configuration didn't arise.
* Change: In Manipulator::moveUp(), restore the management of the
    AllowLocalMoveUp flag, to be able to move up local segments
    (needed by SegmentFsm::_slackenLocal()).

Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 7ba68a0718 whoops, sorry... 2021-04-21 14:30:58 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f4514cecf3 Use Track::repair() to solve overlaps.
* New: In Track::repair(), the gapset was used to *close* same-net gaps
   is now alos used to restore minimal spacing between different nets.
   Seems to be not fully working yet.
2021-04-21 13:51:33 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a05bd81bab Complete reorganization of where the routing stage is stored in Katana.
* In KatanaEngine:
    - Former situation:
        Each RoutingEvent did store the routing stage it was in. And it
        was misnamed "mode".
    - New organization:
        The routing stage is stored in KatanaEngine itself. It can be
	accessed through a proxy in Session.
* Change: In DataNegociate::update(), when in Realign stage and computing
    non-preferred perpnadicular routing *do not* expand of one pitch
    outside the RoutingPad range.
2021-04-21 13:51:08 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2019fa25d7 Fix crash when getting the free interval around a TrackSegment.
* Bug: In TrackSegment::getFreeInterval(), if, for whatever reason,
    a discrepency happens between the TrackSegment and the Track,
    that is the _track fields point to a *wrong* Track. Then the
    index lookup will fail (Track::npos), so return an all-span
    interval instead of trying to expand it and crash (out of
    bound).

Jean-Paul Chaput 2f24c05a72 Fix bug in Track::repair(), select the right segment to extend. 2021-04-12 23:34:55 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 81fffb9d0a Add a new Track finishing stage: close short gaps of same nets wires.
* New: In Track::repair(), short gaps between segments of the same
    nets where occuring and being not detected. This was causing
    DRC minimal distance violations. Now, fuse the segments when
    they are too close. Done by extenting the duSource of the
    rightmost one to the leftlost one.
       Create ancillary class GapSet to manage the gaps of the
    various segment of the same net.
2021-04-10 19:51:19 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2a1f014491 Added a new post-routing stage "realign" in Katana.
When a segment is placed only once (which is to say it is nerver ripped
up) it can sometimes end-up in a non-optimal place. We now add a stage
in Katana where each segment is "re-placed" in order to maximise
alignment on it's neighbor. This is a new stage added to both
RoutingEvent and NegociateWidow. Segments are replaced *only* in free
space, they will not ripup *other* segments, except for their own
perpandiculars. We exclude from re-placement globals (unlikely to move)
and segment that have reduced perpandiculars which *must* not be elongated
and potentially raised.
  Add a new katana setting to enable/disable the realign stage (enabled
by default:
    - "katana.runRealignStage" ( = True )
2021-04-08 15:10:14 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 08d1db5dd6 Rewrite support for minimum area metal wires (stacked VIAs).
We use the segments extensions (dxTarget & dyTarget) to enlarge if
needed the segments. This new implementation is completely at
Anabatic level and should not be seen (i.e. managed) at Katana level.

* Change: In AutoHorizontal & AutoVertical, change the semantic of
    getSourceU() and getTargetU(). formerly they where the end
    position of the segment (with extension included), now they
    gives the position of the anchor contacts, that is the axis
    of the perpandiculars.
* New: AutoSegment::getLength() is still a proxy toward the
     Segment::getLength() which returns the length of segment with
     dxSource & dxTarget. We introduce a getAnchoredlength()
     which returns the length between the centers of the S/T
     anchors. That is axis to axis.
       This is this length which is now used througout Anabatic.
* New: In AutoSegment::_extentionCaps, add a fourth item to hold
    the segment minimal length (to respect minimal area given
    the wire width).
* New: In AutoSegment::getExtensionCap(), if the segment has
    a non-zero S/T extension, returns it instead of the S/T
    contact extension *if it is greated*. The check of the
    extension can be disabled by the Flag::NoSegExt flag.
* Change: In AutoSegment::isMiddleStack(), security check on
    the presence of source and targets. More accurate detection
    of perpandicular in "same layer" with a non-zero length,
    So the area is OK, even with a short segment.
* New: AutoSegment::expandToMinLength(), check if a segment is
    under the minimal length and expand it if need be by playing
    with the dxTarget & dxSource. Tag minimal segments with the
    AutoSegment::SegAtMinArea flag. Also try to keep the segment
    *inside* it's former (supposedly wider) interval.
* New: AutoSegment::unexpandToMinLength(), to be called on a
    formerly minimal sized segment which as grown up. Reset
    it's S/T extensions to zero and unset the flag SegAtMinArea.
* Change: In AutoHorizontal::updateOrient(), when the extension
    are non-zero, also swap them if needed, to keep the exact
    footprint of the segment.
* New: In AutoSegment::revalidate(), check that the segment
    respect the minimal length (area), and expand it if needed.
      Conversely, if the segment has grown up from a minimal
    length state, reset it's extensions to zero.
* Change: In Anabatic::Session::revalidate(), invalidateds
    segments are now sorted in such a way that the "middle stack"
    ones are revalidateds last. Not recall 100% why...
* New: In Katana::TrackCost, add a computation of the free interval
    length we are into (if any). Not used yet, keep it for future
    use.
* Change: In KatanaEngine::finalizeLayout(), remove the call to
    segments minimum area protection. It is now obsoleted by the
    new implementation in Anabatic.
* Change: In Track::check(), call the minimum size/area checker
    Track::checkMinArea().

Jean-Paul Chaput d9b14d680a In Katana::protectRoutingPad(), check that the RP is not still on the Plug. 2021-03-23 17:19:38 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput dbb16b618f Correct managment of macro block regarding to P&R.
* Change: In NetBuilder::getPositions(), ordering of source/target points
    is now integrated to this function instead of left to the caller.
    In case of real (non-symbolic) routing gauge, skrink the ends of
    half the wire width.
* Change: In NetBuilderHV::doRp_AutoContacts(), in case of non-METAL1
    RoutingPad, put the axis of the segment on the nearest track.
    Issue a warning if we have to shift, as it may be a potential
    source of routing problems.
* New: Anabatic::Session::getNearestTrackaAxis(), proxy to compute
    track positions, knowing the design abutment box.
* Bug: In Katana::PreProcess::propagateCagedConstraints(), when
    looking at all the slave components anchoreds on a RoutingPad,
    if they do not have an AutoSegment lookup, skip them instead
    of crashing.
* New: In cumulus/plugins.block.Block.placeMacro(), new method to
    place a macro cell, partly delegating to the Macro block wrapper.
      Must be called *after* both core and corona abutment boxes have
    been set.
      Adjust the macro block position so the METAL2 & METAL3 pins
    are exactly on pitch regarding the full routing grid. The reference
    being the corona.
      A shift, less than one pitch may be applied, leading in some
    cases of overlapping abutment boxes. But this shouldn't be a
    problem.
      The macro to place is designated through a path of instances
    names, rooted at the *core* (not the corona). Meaning that the
    head instance must be one of the core.
* Change: In cumulus/plugins.chip.Chip, the complete chip I/O pads
    plus corona and core placement is moved out from doPnR() and
    put into doChipFloorplan(). It is now mandatory to call this
    method *before* doPnR().
      Those methods are now cleanly separated so we can perform macro
    block placement or any inner core floorplaning operations between
    them.
* Change:  In cumulus/plugins.macro.Macro, instead of creating large
    pads for the I/O pins so whatever the block position, they will
    be under a grid point, create a simple dogleg to put them on
    grid.
      To ensure that they are "on grid", the block pins must be
    in METAL2 (horizontal E/W) or METAL3 (vertical N/S) and the block
    is assumed to be placed so the bottom left corner of it's
    abutment box is exactly on one grid point for M2/M3.
      This should be done by Block.placeMacro().

Jean-Paul Chaput aece850a6c Fix bugs in power supply obstacle management.
* Bug: In PowerRailsPlanes::Rail::doLayout(), in case of non-blockage but
    fixed segments (that is, power lines), expand the segment box of one
    picth to put blockage on too close neigboring tracks.
* Change: In Manipulator::avoidBlockage(), more accurate computation of
    the blocked area for pushing aside the terminal & turn of the non-pref
    segment.
2021-03-05 00:43:24 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 3a68cdf549 Support for "AbstractedSupply" in Katana power rails builder.
* New: In KatanaEngine::PowerRails, now stop the query on
    "AbstractedSupply" master cells. Modification coupled with
    EtesianEngine::flattenPower().
2021-03-02 12:18:45 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 7bae6d8bad Partial management of offgrid fixed segments in Katana.
NOTE: To myself, one more bug uncovered in the Track segments management.
      This is really too complex, must find time to re-think and simplify
      the whole thing.

* New: In Katana::NegociateWidow::createTrackSegment(), detect offgrid
    fixed segments and insert them into tracks directly (as *wide* segment
    of two tracks).
* New: In Katana::TrackSegment::create() factory method, check for offgrid
    fixed segment and use a TrackSegmentWide (of 2 tracks) for them.
* New: In Katana::TrackSegmentWide CTOR, check if they are used in the
    context of an offgrid segment and in that case set the track span
    to two. We *do not* manage yet the case for both *wide* and *offgrid*
    segments.
* Change: In Katana::PowerRails::Rails::doLayout(), do not expand blockage
    rectangles over their real size. Add the guard only for real layers
    segments.
* Bug: In Katana::PreProcess::propagateCagedConstraints(), when looking
    for the first track index, check for out of bound value (npos).
* Bug: In Katana::Track::addOverlapCost(), before using the overlap
    segment indexes, check if we are not in a free hole (get the free
    interval from center).
* Bug: In Katana::Track::expandFreeInterval(), the interval was badly
    computed if it was included inside segments of another (same) net.
2021-02-17 23:57:45 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 14ff6ce78a * Bug: In KatanaEngine::TrackFixedSegment CTOR, for finding the GCells
under the fixed segment, we were using the axis *of the segment*,
    but if it is very wide, this is completly off.
      Now use the axis of the *track* to get the right GCells impacteds.
2021-02-01 16:52:03 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 35d54c3e74 Take account of Rectilinears in KatanaEngine::setupPowerRails()
* New: In QueryPowerRails::addToPowerRail(), now manage Rectilinears,
    *if* they are, in fact, rectangles. For LibreSOCMem block support.
2021-02-01 16:48:36 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput e0bae89a81 Bug in KatanaEngine::annotateGlobalGraph(), bad edge capacity computation.
* Bug: In KatanaEngine::annotateGlobalGraph(), overlapping blockages or
    fixed segments where taken into account as separate ones. This was
    making the edge capacity reservation too high. Creating false
    zero-capacity edges at some points.
      Didn't show up until now because we did not have overlaps.
2021-02-01 16:43:42 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 5649a3b984 Second version of the antenna effect protection.
* Change: In EtesianEngine::globalPlace(), disable the call to
    antennaProtect(). First reason is that, after all, Coloquinte
    do not handle so well the resizing of the cells "on the fly",
    it overspill the boundaries sometimes. Second reason is that
    as we cannot know the routing tree at this stage, we will not
    be able to choose the correct points for diode insertions.
    We only have a Steiner tree wich may not be the same as a
    density driven Dijkstra.
* Change: In Etesian::Area, the Occurrence to the Instances where
    not stored in a uniform way. Some where starting from the
    placed sub-block, some where starting from the top level
    (corona), making their processing (and remembering it) tricky.
    Now, they are all expressed from the top cell (corona).
    The coordinate system is now systematically the one of the
    top block (*not* the block).
      Create various overloaded functions EtesianEngine::toCell()
    and EtesianEngine::toBlock() to ease Occurrence & coordinate
    translations.
* New: In Etesian::Slice::createDiodeUnder(), add a X position hint.
    Search is done by going through the whole slice range and
    minimizing the distance to the hint. If it starts to be too
    slow, we may optimize.
* Bug: In EtesianEngine::toColoquinte(), the placement of the top
    level external pins was not taken into account (this at last
    explain their weird positioning).
* New: AnabaticEngine::antennaProtect(), new algorithm to avoid
    antenna effect. This step must be done *after* global routing
    and *before* detailed routing. This way we have access to the
    real routing and can mend it (along with the netlist) to
    insert diodes at the rigth points.
      From the global routing we build clusters (DiodeCluster) of
    RoutingPads connected through a set of wire whose total length
    is below the antenna effect threshold. Long wires connecting the
    clusters are also tagged because we need to put a diode between
    them and the first RoutingPad of the cluster. This is to avoid
    a long METAL2 wire connecting to the RoutingPad before the diode is
    connected through METAL3 (in case of misalignment).
      This protection is not even enough. For *very long* wires, we
    needs to put *more* than one diode (this is to be implemented).
2021-01-27 11:38:00 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 29b57e86e5 DRC correct on Arlet6505 / TSMC C180.
Integrate new features and bug fixes so the Arlet 6502 benchs successfully
passes real DRC with reference industrial tools. Short summary:
* Manage minimum area for VIAs in Katana::Tracks.
* Allow different wire width for wires perpandicular to the prefered
  routing direction.
* StackedVIAs used in the clock tree no longer assume an uniform
  routing grid (same offset & pitch all the way up).
* Some hard-coded patches in PowerRails for FlexLib.

* New: In CRL/symbolic/cmos/kite.py & cmos45/kite.py, update the
    RoutingLayerGauges by adding the new PWireWidth parameter.
    Always zero in case of symbolic layout (too fine tuning).
* New: In CRL::RoutingGauge, add accessor to PWireWidth parameter.
    Modify the clone method.
* New: In CRL::RoutingLayerGauge, add new parameter "PWireWidth"
    to give the width of a wire when it not drawn in the prefered
    routing direction. If it is set to zero, the normal width is
    used.
* New: In CRL::PyRoutingGauge, export the updated constructor
    interface. It is *not* backward compatible, one must add the
    PWireWidth parameter in the various kite.py configuration
    files (in etc/).
* Change: In AnabaticEngine::_gutAnabatic(), disable the minimum
    area detection mechanism, replaced by a more complete one in
    Katana::Track. Left commented out for now, but will be removed
    in the future.
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoContact::updateLayer(), now systematically
    calls setLayerAndWidth() to potentially resize the VIAs. This is
    needed in real mode as VIAs are *not* macro-generated but have
    their real final size.
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoContact::setLayerAndWidth(), select the
    width and height of the contact using the gauge wire width *and*
    perpandicular *wire width*.
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoSegment::_initialize(), the "VIA to same cap"
    to PWireWidth/2, this will be the size of the VIA in the
    non-preferred direction at the end cap (non-square in real mode).
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoSegment::getExtensionCap(), makes different
    cases for symbolic and real. Use raw length in real, add half the
    wire width in symbolic.
      Add a flag to get the extension cap *only*, not increased of
    half the minimal spacing.
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoSegment::bloatStackedStrap(), enhanced,
    but finally unused...
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment::create(), use the PWireWidth when
    the segment is not in the preferred routing direction (and of
    minimal width).
* New: In Anabatic::Configuration, add new getPWirewidth(),
     DPHorizontalWidth() and DPVerticalWidth() accessors.
* Change: In AnabaticEngine::setupPreRouteds(), skip components in
    in "cut" material. We are only interested in objects containing
    some metal (happens in real mode when VIAs cuts are really there).
* New: In Katana::PowerRailsPlanes::Rail::doLayout(), add an hard-coded
    patch that artificially enlarge the *wide wire* so the spacing for
    wide wire is enforced. For now, two pitches on each side for
    "FlexLib" gauge.
* New: In Katana::Track, add support to find and correct small wire
    chunks so they respect the minimum area rules.
      Two helper functions:
      * ::hasSameLayerTurn(), to find if a a TrackElement as non-zero length
        perpandicular is same layer connected to it.
      * ::toFoundryGrid(), to ensure that all coordinates will be on the
        foundry grid (may move in a more shared location).
      * ::expandToMinArea(), try to expand, *in the routing direction*
        the too small wire so it respect the minimal area. Check for the
	free space in the track.
    Track::minExpandArea() go through all the TrackElements in the track
    to look for too small ones and correct them.
* Change: In Katana::RoutingPlane, add an accessor to get the tracks.
* New: In KatanaEngine::finalizeLayout(), add a post-treatment to find
    for minimal area violations.
* Change: In cumulus/plugins.block.configuration.GaugeConf, add a
    routingBb attribute that will serve as a common reference to all
    the functions calculation track positions. We must not have two
    different reference for the core and the corona. The reference
    is always the corona when we working on a complete chip.
* New: In cumulus/plugins.block.configuration.GaugeConf.getTrack(),
    Simplified and more reliable way of getting tracks positions.
    Use the routingBb.
* New: In cumulus/plugins.block.configuration.GaugeConf.rpAccess(),
    Make use of getTrack() to get every metal strap on the right
    X/Y position.
* New: In cumulus/plugins.block.configuration.GaugeConf.expandMinArea(),
    As those wires are left alone by the router, it is our responsability
    to abide by the minimal area rule here. Hence the code duplication
    from the router (bad).
      Mainly wires made for the clock tree, I mean.
* Bug: In cumulus/plugins.chip.configuration.ChipConf.setupICore(),
    the core instance must be placed on the GCell grid, defined by the
    slice height (X *and* Y).
* Bug: In cumulus/plugins.chip.corona.Builder(), forgot to use bigvia
    for the corners of the inner ring.
* Bug: In cumulus/plugins.chip.pads.corona._createCoreWire(), hard-coded
    patch for LibreSOCIO, the power/ground connectors toward the core
    are too wide and can create DRC errors when put side by side.
    Shrink them by the minimal distance.

Jean-Paul Chaput ba43b02e87 Fix segment AutoSegment::reduce() multiple-call (must run once).
* Bug: In Anabatic::AutoSegment::reduce(), no longer reduce *again*
    an already reduced segment.
      This bug was seen through a side effect, it was causing the
    "reduced perpandicular" counter to be incremented too much and
    so it cannot get back to zero, blocking the layer reduction
    (AutoSegment::reduceDoglegLayer()) and some bad VIAs where left
    over.
      More debug information in reduce & raise functions.
* Change: In Katana::Session::_revalidate(), process to be raised
    segments *before* segments that can be reduceds.

Jean-Paul Chaput 0d372365e1 Fix left open DebugSession in Katana::NegociateWindow::createTrackSegment(). 2020-11-17 15:02:24 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 1b6d5bd09d Remove check over RegularLayer in TrackFixedsegment CTOR (for real mode). 2020-11-11 13:46:47 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput e6e667c6c7 Etesian manage top level obstacles when placing a sub-block.
Note: To implement this in a more flexible way we should introduce a
      concept of Instance/Cell "placeholder" to reserve space
      transhierarchically.

* Change: In EtesianEngine::toColoquinte(), when placing only one block
    in a cell, the cell itself can contains other fixed instances
    that are over the placement area. Create dummy fixed instances
    to reserve the taken space.
       In EtesianEngine::AddFeeds(), do not put feed cells over the
    cell area occuped by the sibling instances cells.
* Cleanup: In KatanaEngine::setupPowerRails(): small cleanup.

Jean-Paul Chaput 8f0a8e5a3a Added support for loading user defined global routing in Anabatic.
* New: In Hurricane::NetRoutingProperty, add and change the meaning
    of the following flags:
      - ManualGlobalRoute : now means that a global routing *trunk*
        is present, made of "gmetalh", "gmetalv" & "gcontact".
      - Manualdetailroute : added, get the former meaning of
        ManualGlobalRoute, that is, the detailed routing is
	already present for this net, but can be changed by the
	detailed router. Implies that it respect the Terminal,
	HTee & VTee structuration.
* New: Add Anabatic::Diskstra::loadFixedGlobal(), to account
    a manually global net into the edges capacities.
* New: In Anabatic::Edges::ripup(), exclude manually global routed
    segments from the ripup. Change the segment sorting function
    so that thoses segments are put in head of list (considered
    as "smaller").
* Change: In AnabaticEngine::setupPreRouteds(), now detect manual
    global routed and manual detail routed signals, and tag them
    accordingly.
* New: In AnabaticEngine::Configuration & Session, add proxies
    for the global routing layers ("gmetalh", "gmetalv", "gcontact").
* New: In Anabatic::Constants, add flags for global fixed and
    detail routed nets.
* Change: In KatanaEngine::updateEstimateDensity(), now use int64_t
    for flute coordinates.
* New: Add CRL::RoutingGauge::hasLayer(), to know if a layer is
    managed by the gauge (comparison by mask).
2020-09-30 11:55:39 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 18405599e8 Added Python for FLUTE (for fast RSMT in HFNS).
* New: In flute, added a Python binding. Contains two methods: "readLUT()",
    to load the POWV9.dat and POST9.dat and "flute()" to build a RSMT.
    "flute()" takes a tuple of positions (themselves 2-uple) like:
        ( (x0,y0), (x1,y1,), ... (xN,yM) )
    and returns a tuple of 3-uple of branches:
        ( (n0,x0,y0), (n1,x1,y1), ... )
    In "flute.h", set the distance type (DTYPE) to int64_t to always
    accomodate DbU::Unit.
      As it now uses the Hurricane Python interface and the path utilities
    from CRL Core, move it's compilation *after* them (see build.conf in
    bootstrap).
2020-09-30 11:52:22 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 140d6f20dc Increase the "reserve" length when moving up long wires (ARM run-17).
* New: In Katana::Manipulator::moveUp(), if the length of the wire is
    greater than 60 pitchs, increase the reserve from 0.5 track to
    1.0 track. This is to left more free tracks when lots of very
    long segments are moved up. Make the run 17 of the ARM test bench
    pass.
2020-08-06 15:04:18 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput c63827681a Remove forgotten debug message in KatanaEngine::annotateGlobalGraph(). 2020-08-02 23:02:08 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f211cae69a New: Parameters hTrackReservedMin in Katana.
* New: In Katana::Configuration, two new parameters hTrackReservedMin
   and same for V. Forced decrease of all edges capacities, to use
   when the global router is too optimistic...
2020-08-02 18:16:21 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 17ecfd823b Enhanced techno rule support. Inspector support bug fix.
* Bug: In Hurricane/Commons.h, modify the getRecord<>() templates so
    that for both vector<Element> and vector<Element*>, the individual
    record created for each element are donne with pointers. That is,
    for the vector<Element> case, we take a pointer.
      As a general policy, except for the POD types, always use pointers
    or references to data in the records/inspector. Never uses values
    that can call the copy constructor.
      Suppress INSPECTOR_PV_SUPPORT() macro, keep only
    INSPECTOR_PR_SUPPORT().
      Provide value support only for getString<>() template.
      This value & copy constructor problem was causing a crash when
    trying to inspect Hurricane::AnalogCellExtension.
* New: In Hurricane::Technology, change the API of the PhysicalRule,
    now we can only create/get PhysicalRule, but setting the value of
    the rule itself must be done on the rule.
      Enhance PhysicalRule to provide for stepped rules, non isotropic
    and ratio rules.
      Merge TwoLayersPhysicalrule in PhysicalRule, much simpler to
    suppress the management of derived classes. That means that we
    loose a little memory as some fields are mutually exclusive.
    Not a problem considering that there will not be so many of thoses
    objects.
* New: In CRL/helpers.analogtechno.py, enhanced DTR support for rules
    like:
      ('minSpacing'  , 'metal1', ((0.4,20.0), (0.8,1000.0)), Length, 'REF.1')
      ('minEnclosure', 'metal1', 'cut1', (0.2,0.3)         , Length, 'REF.2')
      ('minDensity'  , 'metal1', 0.30                      , Unit  , 'REF.3')
      The DTR parser has been updated, but not the oroshi.dtr Rule
    cache for analog components. Given a rule name, the value used
    will be the horizontal one of the first step.
* Change: In hurricane/doc/hurricane, re-generate the documentation
    with updated support for Technology & PhysicalRule.
2020-07-21 11:22:04 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 8ce2a7e318 In Etesian, do not reset the placement if we are using a sub-block.
* Bug: In EtesianEngine::place(), reset the placement *only* if we are
    *not* placing a sub-block *and* the top cell abutment box is empty.
* Bug: In EtesianEngine::place(), set the instance placement status of
    all intermediate instances to PLACED, so the AP driver will save
    them (we were having partially saved layout when using hierarchical
    designs).
* Bug: In EtesianEngine::resetPlacement(), reset the PLACED flag and
    the abutment box on the top cell or sub-block to be placed.
2020-07-14 19:51:01 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 3dbaea6aca Bug fix, restore the FreePDK 45 (real) support.
* Change: In CRL::LefParser::_macroCbk(), create a Catalog entry for the
    newly read MACRO (that is Cell) and sets the Logical, Physical,
    InMemory and TerminalNetlist flags.
* Bug: In CRL::LefParser::_siteCbk(), check for NULL cell gauge.
* New: In CRL::AllianceFramework, add setCellGauge(), to set the default
    cell gauge. Exported to Python.
* Change: In CRL/etc/common/technology.py, create variables for VIA
    layers, so we can modify their properties afterwards.
* New: In CRL/etc/node45/freepdk45, port the configuration files to the
    new Python "importable" format.
      Note: in kite.py, all the gauges (Routing & Cells) must be named
    "LEF.CoreSite" to please my LEF parser, so it can match the gauge
    name with the SITE name for standard cells.
* Bug: In Anabatic::NetBuilderVH::_do_2G(), forgotten to be reimplemented
    from the base class. Simply redirect to _do_xG().
* Change: In Katana::PowerRailsPlanes::PowerRailsplanes(), create plane
    from the layers in the RoutingGauge and their associated blockages
    instead of sweeping through all the basic layers.
      Allow to distinguish bewteen "METAL" (symbolic) and "metal" (real).
2020-04-27 10:34:19 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput e7bc4dc167 Bug fix, In Katana, do not remove AutoSegment conflicting with blockages.
* Bug: In Katana::NegociateWindow::createTrackSegment(), *fixed* AutoSegment
    in conflict with blockage where removeds. This was creating "holes"
    in the Anabatic articulated segment structure. Now just *don't*
    create the TrackSegment. Pass the regression tests, but not sure
    it is not generating problems elsewhere.
* New: AnabaticEngine::checkPlacement() to issue more clear errors about
    a defective placement.
2020-04-21 15:40:59 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 8978074fe7 Added new configuration in NetBuilderHV (for M3 Pins).
* New: In Anabatic::NetBuilderHV(), added configurations to manage
    one Pin M3 + one M1 terminal plus 2 & 3 globals:
      * _do_2G_1M1_1PinM3()
      * _do_3G_1M1_1PinM3()
    They were occuring for the first time in soclayout/experiment7
    in the "flat" approach.
* New: In Katana::runNegociate(), mark the newly routed netlist as
    "NetlistTerminal" so it is not placed and routed *again* when
    reused as an instance (mostly interract with Etesian).
2020-04-20 12:53:07 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 010d9a3782 Clean policy of netlist (vst) and layout (ap) views recursive loading.
* Bug: In CRL::VstParserGrammar & VstParserScanner, when loading the
    instances models, we where loading both logical & physical views.
    This was causing cases of reentrency of the parser, with reset
    of the lexer static dictionary, leading to memory corruption.
      Now the identifiers are stored in the YaccState of each
    parsed cell and we only recursively call for the logical view.
* Change: In CRL::ApParser::_parseInstance(), recursively load the
    physical views as they are no longer loaded by the Vst parser.
* Change: In CRL::AllianceFramework::getCell(), sets the
    TerminalNetlist flag from the state (mode 'C' in CATAL) onto
    the cell.
* Change: In EtesianEngine::loadLeafcelllayouts(), new functions to
    load the layouts of the leaf cells if only the netlist has been
    loaded.
2020-04-17 11:28:47 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 837de500aa Compliance with Debian 10 Buster.
* Change: In all tools, FindTOOL.cmake, no longer use LIB_SUFFIX to
    search for tool libraries but try "lib64/" then "lib/".
* Change: In bootstrap/socInstaller.py, take Debian 10 into account.
* Change: In bootstrap/docker, move from Debian 9 to Debian 10.
