Netlist Input Example

Currently we have one Net Input example posted. The dimensions of the grid used in this example is very large, thus any depiction of the grid would be difficult to decipher.

Please note that the nets can only specify connections to nodes that are found in the Node Input file.

Net Input File

This page contains links to a Node Input file as well as a Placement Input file. The Node input file describes the size of the nodes and types of nodes that can be found in the routing instance. The Net Input file describes the location of the pins found in the nodes relative to the nodes center. So the only way to find the absolute location of the pin is to describe where the nodes are placed on the grid. This information can be found in the Placement Input file.


Node Input Example

The Node Input file specifies the dimensions of the node as well as the type of node it is. Its format is described in detail at the Netlist/Generic Hypergraph Format page which can also be found through Gigascale.org.

Placement Information Example

The Placement input file specifies the actual placement of the nodes in the routing grid. The nodes in the placement file can only be nodes that are specified in the Node Input file. Again, the Placement input format is described in detail at the Netlist/Generic Hypergraph Format page which can also be found through Gigascale.org.
