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.

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 0930660a1f Added detection of Windows 10 / Cygwin64 (N. Shimizu). 2015-10-02 15:59:01 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2c6bee30ad Minor style change (beautifying). 2015-09-06 17:25:49 +02:00
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.

Jean-Paul Chaput 7669c66597 In Cumulus/PadsCorona.py, now manage global nets explicitly connecteds. 2015-09-06 17:14:24 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 9db97608cb More clever way of taking into account constraints on caged terminals.
* Change: In vlsispad, in Dots, add an enable/disable flag because when printing
    into a cmess, it is only the base class ostream which is took into account
    as none of it's methods are virtuals (silly me).
* Bug: In Etesian, print into cmess instead of cout and make use of the Dots
    enabling feature.
* New: In Katabatic, added AutoContact::migrateConstraintBox() to transfert
    constraint from one contact to another.
      New flag for AutoContact, CntWeakTerminal for AutoContact which are at
    the other of a segment directly connected to a terminal. They may hold
    special constraints in case of caged terminals (computed in Kite).
      In AutoHorizontal & AutoVertical, in ::_makeDogleg(), transfert flags
    and constraints when breaking a segment directly connected to a terminal.
* New: In Kite, in protectCagedTerminals(), uses cross constraint on the
    AutoContact opposite to the ContactTerminal (CntWeakTerminal) instead
    of moving up one terminal over two consecutives. This is simpler without
    degrading the routing quality.
2015-08-18 15:42:28 +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	.
2015-08-16 23:29:28 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 8ead28d86c In the Netlist tab of the Controller, add a count of RoutingPads.
* New: In Hurricane, in NetlistWidget & NetlistModel, adds a column for
    the RoutingPads count. Special display to mark global nets.
* Change: In Hurricane, in all MVC's models, some improvements on the
    way the columns are sized and the titles displayeds.
2015-07-25 11:55:42 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ed2cd18c48 Too narrow search area for straight net in Knik.
* Bug: In Knik, in Graph::Dijsktra(), when all the RoutingPads of a net
    are aligned, the seaching area is only one vertex wide (in width or
    height). That is, it contains only one edge in it's main direction.
    So when that sub-graph contains a fully blocked edge, Dijkstra cannot
    find a path... Now enlarge the one edge graph to at least three by
    inflating the search area. Curiously a code for similar purpose seems
    to be present, but commented.
2015-07-25 11:38:00 +02:00
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).
2015-06-26 18:35:11 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 61f2b8630f More resilient KiteEngine::wipeoutRouting(). Added to graphic menus.
* Change: In KiteEngine::wipeoutRouting(), remove only the Contacts
    that are *not* anchored. Any other will be indirectly destroyed.
* New: In GraphicKiteEngine, add an encapsulation and a menu for
    wipeoutRouting().
2015-06-22 23:04:54 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f0ebf8de6d In Hurricane, update the copyright year to 2015 (at last!). 2015-06-21 18:02:35 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 09d4e488ba In Cell, separate flattenNets() and createRoutingPadRings().
* New: In Hurricane, in Cell, no longer create rings of RoutingPads when
    flattening the nets. Put that functionnality into a separate method
    ::createRoutingPadRings().
      This allow to perform the Net flattening in Etesian *without*
    the rings, which slow it down. Then the rings are created by
    Knik/Kite. This also solves the double ring creation when doing
    P&R of a complete chip (rings where created twice: in the core
    block for Etesian and at chip level for Kite).
* Change: In Etesian, slight beautification of the printed informations.
    (psychorigid me)
2015-06-21 17:47:28 +02:00
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 e9369ab905 Bug in Instance::getClone() generating unplaced copies.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Instance::getClone(), the Instance::create()
    was called with a wrong number of parameters, causing the the
    wrong overload to be called. The position was thus not copied
    generating an unplaced copy. This was causing error in the
    AM2901/datapath bench, because fixed blocks where becoming
    unfixed.
* Bug: In <bootstrap>, in coriolisEnv (again) an error in the
    detection of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

    in two passes, then send a mail report.

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.

Jean-Paul Chaput 6ecdaf2539 More accurate routing guiding under a block corona.
* New: In Kite, in BuildPowerRails more accurate GCell density computation
    under the pad area, to limit the overloaded messages.
* New: In Cumulus, In BlockCorona, remove the vertical METAL3 blockages
    and replace them by horizontal blockages completly enclosing the
    corona big vias in all layers. This way the I/O wires that goes
    through the corona are guided to be straight and do not creates
    unsolvable doglegs due to the presence of big vias.
* Change: In Kite & Etesian, small typo: refactor the method
    "::wipeOutRouting()" into "::wipeoutRouting()" (indulge me, I'm a
    code maniac).

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.

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.

Jean-Paul Chaput 1b79ef75c9 Added a top level Makefile to encapsulate the ./bootsrap/ccb.py call. 2015-05-09 23:16:36 +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.

Gabriel Gouvine 82873289f6 Improvements for Steiner trees
* Fixed a bug when calling vertical topology computation
* Now export a horizontal topology function for routers
