Abstract
For global routing using a graphics processing unit (GPU), a method routes a net of node interconnections for a semiconductor design. In addition, the method decomposes the net into subnets. Each subnet has no shared paths. The method further identifies a congested region of the routed net that exceeds routing capacities. In addition, the method correlates the congested region with a plurality of first subnets with workloads within the congested region. The method routes the subnets in parallel using the GPU.
