global routing and detail routing

Post by Vijay »

Routing is done in two steps, global routing & detail routing. What is the difference between global routing & detail routing?

The routing problem is typically solved using a two step approach:
Global Routing:
• Define the routing regions.
• Generate a tentative route for each net.
• Each net is assigned to a set of routing regions.
• Does not specify the actual layout of wires.

Detailed Routing:
• For each routing region, each net passing through that region is assigned particular routing tracks.
• Actual layout of wires gets fixed.
• Associated subproblems: channel routing and switchbox routing.
