Trait SimpleBufferInsertion 

pub trait SimpleBufferInsertion<LN: LayoutEdit + NetlistEdit>
where
    LN::Coord: PrimInt,
{
    type Error;

    // Required method
    fn insert_buffers(
        &self,
        chip: &mut LN,
        signal_source: TerminalId<LN>,
        signal_sinks: &Vec<TerminalId<LN>>,
    ) -> Result<(Vec<LN::CellInstId>, Vec<LN::NetId>), Self::Error>;

    // Provided method
    fn add_buffer_tree_on_net(
        &self,
        chip: &mut LN,
        net: &LN::NetId,
    ) -> Result<(Vec<LN::CellInstId>, Vec<LN::NetId>), Self::Error> { ... }
}

Create a simple buffer tree between a specified source pin and a set of sink pins. The insertion strategy is up to the trait implementation.

Required Associated Types

type Error

Error type that is returned on failure.

Required Methods

fn insert_buffers( &self, chip: &mut LN, signal_source: TerminalId<LN>, signal_sinks: &Vec<TerminalId<LN>>, ) -> Result<(Vec<LN::CellInstId>, Vec<LN::NetId>), Self::Error>

Create a buffer tree between the source terminal and the sinks. The terminals are given together with their location to enable creation of a placement-aware buffer tree.

On success: Return a list of created cell instances and a list of created nets.

Note

All further information (which buffer to use, how many buffers to place, where to place them, etc.) is to be defined by the implementation of this trait.

Provided Methods

fn add_buffer_tree_on_net( &self, chip: &mut LN, net: &LN::NetId, ) -> Result<(Vec<LN::CellInstId>, Vec<LN::NetId>), Self::Error>

Replace the net by a buffer tree.

1. Identify signal driver and sinks by the direction of the pins.
2. Call insert_buffers().

On success: Return a list of created cell instances and a list of created nets.
