Abstract
Numerous solutions to the problem of detailed routing of wires on a chip have been proposed for two routing layers but few are general enough to also handle switchboxes, more than two layers, variable channel widths, or multiple-layer problems with stacked terminals (3-D routing) without extensive modifications. We propose a different routing approach that not only can solve the two layer problem but the other problems as well. The inherent parallelism of the approach lead to a coarse-grained parallel algorithm.
