.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP
The \fBKatabatic\fP Tool\&.
.SH "States of KatabaticEngine"
.PP
During it's lifecycle, the engine go through a serie of states\&. It only can go forward between states\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fBEngineCreation\fP : just after C++ object creation until the global routing is loaded\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fBEngineGlobalLoaded\fP : \fIafter\fP the global routing has been done\&. This state must be set by an external tool, \fBKatabatic\fP cannot know by itself when the global routing has been done (see Kite)\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fBEngineActive\fP : \fIafter\fP the global routing has been converted into the \fBKatabatic\fP data structure\&. At this point the tool is ready to run\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fBEngineDriving\fP : \fIduring\fP the stage of stripping all the decorations the tool has added over the Hurricane data structure (mostly: \fBAutoContact\fP & \fBAutoSegment\fP)\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fBEngineGutted\fP : \fIafter\fP the tool decorations have been removed\&. The tool is now useless and can only be destroyed\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fBEnginePreDestroying\fP : this special state is reached when going straight from EngineActive to the destructor, that is, skipping the EngineDriving state\&. That means we \fIdo not\fP want to save whatever routing has been done\&. In that case, not only the tool decorations are destroyeds, but also the Hurricane data-structures they relies on (Contact, Segments)\&.
.PP
.SH "KatabaticEngine Implementation Details"
.PP
Due to the size of the code and the fact that the main body of some methods do not need to be present in the class, the implementation of \fBKatabaticEngine\fP is split in several files\&. The list below summarize them:
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fCKatabaticEngine\&.cpp\fP : the core of the class, methods that really need their bodies here\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fCPowerRails\&.cpp\fP : utilities to construct an abstract from all the power rails through the hierarchy\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fCLayerAssign\&.cpp\fP : layer assignement related methods and helpers\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fCLoadGrByNet\&.cpp\fP : global routing loader, transform global routing into \fBKatabatic\fP data-structure\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fCNetConstraints\&.cpp\fP : compute the topological constraints of all AutoSegment/AutoContact of a Net\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fCNetOptimals\&.cpp\fP : compute the optimal positions of all \fBAutoSegment\fP of a Net\&.

.RS 4
\fImethod\fP the loading algorithm
.br
\fInets\fP the set of nets to route\&.
.RE
.PP
Convert the global routing into the initial detailed routing\&. For the time beeing, only one loading algorithm is available: \fInet by net\fP (EngineLoadGrByNet)\&. Only Net given in \fCnets\fP are routeds\&. If \fCnets\fP is empty then all ordinary nets are routeds\&. In either cases the set of nets to route is pruned from any power, ground or clock signals\&.

\fIflags\fP Consider only segment in that direction\&.

.SS "bool moveUpNetTrunk (\fBAutoSegment\fP * seed, set< \fBNet\fP *> & globalNets, \fBGCell::SetIndex\fP & invalidateds)"

\fBParameters:\fP
.RS 4
\fIseed\fP The \fBAutoSegment\fP to take the net from\&.
.br
\fIglobalNets\fP The set of nets that has been moved up\&.
.br
\fIinvalidateds\fP The set of GCells that have been invalidated\&. \fBReturns:\fP \fBtrue\fP if the net trunk have been moved up\&.
.RE
.PP
Try to move up a whole net trunk\&. The net is supplied through the \fCseed\fP argument (the segment that triggers the move)\&. If the net is actually moved up, it is added to \fCglobalNets\fP and all GCells that have been invalidateds are added to \fCinvalidateds\fP\&.
.PP
An individual \fBAutoSegment\fP of the net is moved up if it's length is greater that \fC150\fP lambdas, that is, three times the side of a \fBGCell\fP\&. This is hard-wired and should be parametrized in the future\&.
.SS "void layerAssign (unsigned int method)"
Perform the layer assignment\&. The global routing loading stage uses only the two bottom most layers, this method spread them on all the availables routing layers, according to \fBGCell\fP and RoutingPad density criterions\&.
.PP
Two algorithms are availables:
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fBEngineLayerAssignByLength\fP : the global wires are moved up one by one\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fBEngineLayerAssignByTrunk\fP : if one global wire of a net is to be moved up, then all the global trunk of the net is moved along\&. This methods gives the best results for now\&.
.PP
.SS "void computeNetConstraints (\fBNet\fP * net)"
Compute the box constraints on AutoContacts (and therefore those applied to AutoSegments)\&. Constraints comes from AutoContacts anchoreds on RoutingPads and transmitted through \fBAutoContactHTee\fP or \fBAutoContactVTee\fP\&. Constraints are applied to all AutoContacts of an aligned set\&.
.PP
\fBRemark: The \fCnet\fP must have been canonized before this function to be called\&. \fP
.RS 4
.RE
.PP
.SS "void toOptimals (\fBNet\fP * net)"
Move all \fBAutoSegment\fP of \fCnet\fP so that their axis are inside their optimals interval\&. If a \fBAutoSegment\fP is already inside the interval is not moved, otherwise it is put on the nearest bound of the optimal interval\&.
.SS "void finalizeLayout ()\fC [virtual]\fP"
Transform the \fBKatabatic\fP wires into the Hurricane data-structure\&. Mostly by removing the AutoSegment/AutoContact \fIwithout\fP removing their Hurricane conterparts\&. May also fill gaps that may have appeared\&.
