AlphaRoute: Large Language Models as Semantic Optimizers for Multi-Objective Routing

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.19768v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) global routing is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem requiring signal net assignment across capacity-constrained 3D grids while minimizing congestion, wirelength, and via transitions. Because traditional heuristics rely on static penalty schedules that fail on complex congestion topologies, we present AlphaRoute: a multi-objective adaptive search framework reformulating rip-up and reroute (R&R) into a dynamic optimization system. We introduce SHAP-based overflow decomposition to isolate per-net congestion, driving targeted subgraph extraction via 3D Dijkstra maze routing and an adaptive PathFinder policy. Crucially, AlphaRoute employs Large Language Models (LLMs) as semantic policy optimizers. Bo
