摘要: We present a new, "greedy", channel-router that is quick, simple, and highly effective. It always succeeds, usually using no more than one track required by channel density. (It may be forced in rare cases to make few connections "off the end" of channel, order succeed.) assumes all pins wiring lie on common grid, vertical wires are layer, horizontal another. The greedy router up left-to-right, column-by-column manner, each column completely before starting next. Within tries maximize utility produced, "greedy" heuristics. place net for columns, "collapse" single later on, jog. also use jog move closer its pin some future column. occasionally add new avoid "getting stuck".
