@starsandrobots@jof I still want to build a layout expert system, which knows all the constraints to satisfy. (But I have to support a kid) -

@xek@jof I'm curious especially in light of, say, the routing step being provably NP-hard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_(electronic_design_automation) …) -
@starsandrobots@jof I'm mostly interested in the giant heuristic win of allowing component layout, which simplifies the toposort of traces. -
-
@starsandrobots@jof Yes, which allows for multiple learned routers to duke it out in optimizing the traces within the placements. -
@starsandrobots@jof (The CFD people use fuck-off supercomputers; with that horsepower, I know that we could do similarly powerful things.) - 1 more reply
