Over four months, Duck2 contributed to the verilog-to-routing/vtr-verilog-to-routing repository by developing parallel routing features and improving documentation for maintainability. They engineered the NestedNetlistRouter, introducing a custom thread pool in C++ to enable concurrent net routing, which reduced routing time and improved scalability for large designs. Duck2 also enhanced routing precision by refining net naming and sink sampling algorithms, addressing reliability and traceability. Their work included comprehensive documentation updates, particularly for parallel decomposition options and thread pool usage, using both C++ and RST. These efforts deepened the codebase’s parallel processing capabilities and improved onboarding for future contributors.
