Hello, does anyone knows where I can find the codes of “replace” algorithm in openlane’s source code?
v
replace algorithm?
y
yes , it says that openlane uses the algorithm called "replace" in its placement step(https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD/tree/master/src/gpl) but I don't know how it is integrated into openlane
v
It is part of
gloabl_placement
command
For all PnR stage tools and commands referred in brief here: https://openroad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/main/src/gpl/README.html
y
but in openlane's script, I can't find where it invokes "replace"
v
RePlace is source code. It can't be found in OpenLane repo. It is there in OpenROAD repo: https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD/tree/master/src/gpl/src

ok thank you a lot!
