摘要: This work introduces a procedure which takes as input global routing solution that is already improved for routability based on the traditional total overflow (TOF) metric, and then improves distribution of congestion without increasing TOF. Our router able to significantly decrease number edges in undesirable ranges by optimizing convex piece-wise linear penalty function. The penalties are flexible may be specified user. In our experiments, using already-optimized solutions ISPD'11 benchmarks—mostly have 0 units TOF—we show utilized very close capacity can reduced. first explicitly target improving edge corresponding an sacrificing
