Dynamic Bound Generation for Constraint-Driven Routing


Abstract:

We propose a technique to update dynamically the bounds used during constraint-driven routing. Moderate bound violations are allowed as long as no constraint violations are induced. Adaptive net scheduling is made possible during routing, so that nets requiring an implementation with large parasitics can take advantage of the margin made available to them by other parameters maintained within their own bounds. The user is provided with a quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of the tool in enforcing the set of constraints on the
