2025-10 Monthly Summary for verilog-to-routing/vtr-verilog-to-routing. Key features delivered this month span refactors, data-structure improvements, architecture cleanups, and substantial rendering/device-grid enhancements, all aimed at boosting stability, performance, and developer productivity. Major architectural and feature work included refactoring the 3D RR graph, CHANZ initialization improvements, and channel width data propagation across RR components. These changes enable more accurate place-and-route results and better visualization for design-space exploration, while reducing maintenance burden. Highlights by area: - Core routing/architecture: Refactored 3D RR graph code into a dedicated file; CHANZ layer range initialization improvements; cost indexing based on segment types; data structure improvements for layer ranges and shadowing cleanup; architecture cleanup and spacing adjustments tied to channel width. - Channel width propagation: Extracted channel width computation to rr_graph.cpp, propagated widths into drawing, NetCostHandler, and occupancy reporting (3D); introduced rr_chanx/y_list to device context; renamed internal channels width references for clarity (rr_chan?_width -> rr_chan?_segment_width, rr_chany_list -> rr_chany_width). - API and code quality: const-correct tile width getters; avoid nullptr defaults for strings; formatting and documentation upgrades; noexcept and c_str handling improvements; extensive doxygen updates. - Rendering, device grid, and interposer work: drawing improvements (nodes rendered above edges), interposer rendering refinements (mid-channel cut lines, dashed/wider lines, edges drawing), NO_GRAPHICS guards to improve CI reliability, device grid compatibility enhancements, and interposer/SG pattern tooling (non-3D SG indices, links and conversions). - Testing, docs, and CI hygiene: updated seeds and golden results across figures; updated arch references/docs; CLI/config updates supporting --device; removal of unused headers and dead code; performance tweaks such as reserving vector capacity and avoiding repetitive computations. Impact: These changes improve routing stability and correctness, reduce build/test brittleness, and provide clearer data flows across the RR graph and visualization stack.
