Abstract:
This paper presents a routability-driven track assignment algorithm (RDTA) to efficiently estimate routability. Routability has become a very challenging issue in modern IC design and it can be effectively estimated by routing congestion. Track assignment is a stage towards bridging the gap between global routing and detailed routing. And track assignment can also analyze routing congestion more accurate than other routing stages like global routing. Some works have used track assignment to estimate routability. In this work, wire segments extracted from a global routing solution are assigned to proper tracks considering local nets, via locations and pin access. The overlap between wire segments extracted from a global routing solution can be effectively reduced by the algorithm so that the solution of RDTA can effectively estimate the routability.
