coloquinte 0.1.0

Python interface for the Coloquinte VLSI placer

Coloquinte Place&Route

Coloquinte is a Place&Route tool for electronic circuits. Its goal is to provide a single package of well-tested and well-tuned Place&Route algorithms, to be used in open source electronic design toolchains.

This replaces and extends the placement library used in the Coriolis toolchain.

Using Coloquinte

Install dependencies and build Coloquinte using CMake :

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libeigen3-dev
cmake -B build; cmake --build build

ISPD placement and routing benchmarks are available directly in this repository using Git LFS. Currently, only placement benchmarks can be run.

python -m pycoloquinte benchmarks/ISPD06/adaptec1/adaptec1.aux

To use Coloquinte as a library, setup a coloquinte::Circuit object, and call coloquinte::place.
