Solving Routing Problems with Cellular Automata

  • Conference paper

Abstract

New variants of the classical Lee algorithm for the routing of connections on printed circuits or chips have been found when mapping it onto the cellular processing model. Two cellular algorithms are described: (1) a cellular shortest path algorithm with only 14 states per cell, which is independent of the grid size and (2) a parallel algorithm for routing multiple nets simultaneously.
