Abstract

This chapter covers the general description of the Router architecture, followed by the description of the template information necessary for routing, namely, the connectivity and routing constraints. Then the routing generation procedure is explained, depicting each task implemented in LAYGEN II’s optimization-based router, with emphasis on the evolutionary computational techniques used. Finally, the internal evaluation procedure used to verify if the routing solutions fulfill all the technology design rules and constraints is detailed.
