1 code implementation6 May 2023 Aditya Joglekar, Hongrui Chen, Levent Burak Kara

We show that using a suitable Fourier Features neural network architecture and hyperparameters, the density field approximation neural network can learn the weights to represent the optimal density field for the given domain and boundary conditions, by directly backpropagating the loss gradient through the displacement field approximation neural network, and unlike prior work there is no requirement of a sensitivity filter, optimality criterion method, or a separate training of density network in each topology optimization iteration.

Track-Assignment Detailed Routing Using Attention-based Policy Model With Supervision

no code implementations26 Oct 2020 Haiguang Liao, Qingyi Dong, Weiyi Qi, Elias Fallon, Levent Burak Kara

The key advantage of this approach is that the router can learn a policy in an offline setting with supervision, while improving the run-time performance nearly 100x over the genetic solver.

Attention Routing: track-assignment detailed routing using attention-based reinforcement learning

no code implementations20 Apr 2020 Haiguang Liao, Qingyi Dong, Xuliang Dong, Wentai Zhang, Wangyang Zhang, Weiyi Qi, Elias Fallon, Levent Burak Kara

We also discover a similarity between the attention router and the baseline genetic router in terms of positive correlations in cost and routing patterns, which demonstrate the attention router's ability to be utilized not only as a detailed router but also as a predictor for routability and congestion.
