SFP v1.0


SFP is a Rectilinear Steiner Minimum Tree (RSMT) heuristic. The CUDA implementation thereof is fast and produces relatively good solutions. It accepts inputs in the ISPD'08 format.

Click on SFP_10.cu to download the CUDA code, on SFP_10.cpp to download the OpenMP code, or on SFP_10large.cpp to download the serial code that only processes one large net. Note that SFP is protected by the license included in the beginning of the code.

The CUDA code can be compiled as follows:

nvcc -O3 -arch=sm_52 SFP_10.cu -o sfp

The OpenMP code can be compiled as follows:

g++ -O3 -fopenmp SFP_10.cpp -o sfp

To compute the RSMTs of the nets in the file inputs.gr, enter:

./sfp input.gr 0

The serial code can be compiled as follows:

g++ -O3 SFP_10large.cpp -o sfp

To compute the RSMT of a random 10000-pin net, enter:

./sfp 10000
