Problems solved by technology

However, the existing research on the overall routing problem of non-Manhattan structures is limited to the research on the overall routing problem of single-layer structures. As far as we know, no overall routing algorithm research has been carried out considering the two conditions of non-Manhattan structures and multi-layer structures.

Embodiment Construction

[0053] The technical solution of the present invention will be specifically described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Aiming at the overall wiring problem considering the two important conditions of non-Manhattan structure and multi-layer wiring structure, the X structure is used as the representative of non-Manhattan structure. On the basis of the previous single-layer overall wiring algorithm research, the present invention is based on the integer programming model (integer Linear programming (ILP for short) and particle swarm optimization (PSO for short), aiming at a series of deficiencies in the existing work, proposed four effective improvement strategies, and introduced a multi-layer wiring model and a layer scheduling strategy. Thus, a high-performance X-structure multilayer overall router is constructed, which is called FZU-Router. The work of the present invention is the first effective solution to the X-structure multilayer overall wirin...

Abstract

The invention relates to a high-performance X-structure multi-layer overall wiring method in VLSI. On the basis of the XGRouter router, it provides: adding new types of wiring methods, subgroup optimization algorithms and maze wiring based on new wiring costs The combination of the pre-routing capacity reduction strategy in the initial stage, the design of a dynamic resource scheduling strategy, and then the introduction of a multi-layer routing model, simplifying the integer linear programming model of XGRouter, and finally building a high-performance X-structure multi-layer overall routing device. The results of simulation experiments on the standard test circuit show that compared with other general routers, the most important optimization objectives in multilayer general routing—the number of overflows and the total cost of line lengths—have achieved the best results.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer-aided design of integrated circuits, in particular to a high-performance X-structure multilayer overall wiring method in ultra-large-scale integrated circuits. Background technique [0002] As the size of semiconductors and interconnects continues to shrink, interconnects seriously affect many key design indicators. Therefore, the wiring stage that organizes the actual routing positions of interconnects is very important in today's VLSI (very large scale integration, referred to as VLSI) physical design becomes particularly important. The complex routing process is composed of two stages: overall routing and detailed routing. In general routing, the routing of each net is assigned to each channel routing area, and the routing problems of each channel area are clearly defined. The detailed routing gives the specific location of each net in the channel area. Therefore, the quality of overall wir...
