PPR 5.2.x: Relaxing PPR timespecs in xactinit.dat


Record #1980

Problem Title:
PPR 5.2.x: Relaxing PPR timespecs in xactinit.dat


Problem Description:
If even a few nets do not meet timespec, PPR under default settings will relax timespecs on all net s to a maximum value.
This can be avoided by making the following additions to the xactinit.dat file.


Solution 1:

Minimal additions:
      placer_4k_pa_goal_ratio = 1.0
      pa_init_goal = 1.00

Other common additions to xactinit.dat:

       placer_4k_pa_goal_ratio = 1.0
       pa_init_goal = 1.00
       loop_report_max = L
       /ppr/report_paths = true
       pa_pins_to_show = 6
       pa_paths_to_show = 5
       /ppr/placer_effort = 4
       /ppr/router_effort = 4
       /ppr/path_timing = true
       /ppr/timing = forced_on
       /*/*/plog_file_level = verbose
       /*/plog_file_level = verbose
       /*/*/plog_stdout_level = verbose
       /*/plog_stdout_level = verbose
