Power router for gridded cell placement

Build tools

• CMake, version >= 3.16
• GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), version >= 4.8.5

Pre-requisite libraries

• Boost, version >= 1.61.0
• Si2 LEF/DEF parser: LEF parser and DEF parser. Use cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path/to/install to specify the installation destination for each parser, and export the path as environment variable LEF_ROOT and DEF_ROOT. This LEF/DEF parser requires BISON (>= 3.0.4)
• ACT: environment variable ACT_HOME determines the installation destination of this package
• [PhyDB]: phydb should be installed in 'ACT_HOME': 'ACT_HOME/include' should contain a 'phydb' folder with all phydb headers, 'ACT_HOME/lib' should contain libphydb.a

Required Evironment variable

• 'LEF_ROOT': installation path of the Si2 lef parser
• 'DEF_ROOT': installation path of the Si2 def parser
• 'ACT_HOME': installation path of ACT, where PhyDB is installed as well

Clone, compile, and install

$ git clone https://github.com/asyncvlsi/PWRoute.git
$ cd PWRoute/
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. 
$ make
$ make install

If you want an executable of PWRoute, run "cmake .. -DBUILD_BIN=1" in the cmake step. "make install" creates a folder pwroute under folder $ACT_HOME/include with all .h of PWRoute/include, and a static library libpwroute.a under folder $ACT_HOME/lib.
