Comparsion between FPI2.0 and Capo8.6 Benchmarks are IBM-Place03 suits, which are created from IBM-Place01 by removing channels between core rows and add some whitespace. This is one run of fpi2.0 and Capo8.6. Some statistis results are being collected at this point. In general, FPI2.0 total wire length results are within a couple of percent difference (increase or decrease) compared to those produced by Capo8.6. Some explaination for the results: for Capo8.6, Capo WL is the wire length results after Capo placement, and End WL is final result after RowIroning. the second cpu time is the time for RowIroning. for fpi2.0, Capo WL is the wire length result after cluster placement, and End WL is after legalization and local refinement.
