sf-slack2<acomodi> By checking the placement costs it is noticeable that with equivalent tiles we get a lower cost with placement. Here some data: https://github.com/verilog-to-routing/vtr-verilog-to-routing/pull/559#issuecomment-49339852410:14

sf-slack2<acomodi> I wonder what will be the reduction when timing is added as well.10:14

sf-slack2<acomodi> litghost: Great! does VPR know that the clock frequency is 100MHz (for basys3)?15:56
litghostacomodi: That simply comes from the SDF (which I've hard wired for now)15:57

litghostSDC sorry not SDF15:57
sf-slack2<acomodi> litghost: Ok, good to know. So the issue now is that VPR is not able to find a routing with a critical path of less than 10ns, right?16:00
sf-slack2<acomodi> litghost: Or it doesn't even try again after failing?16:01
litghostacomodi: Unclear, likely this particular issue is a side affect of aggressive packing16:02
litghostacomodi: My next step is to make sure that VPR is chasing the actual critical path16:03
sf-slack2<acomodi> litghost: Got it, so you could understand if it is actually trying to solve it. Have you tried to use timing based routing and placement on designs (murax or scalable-proc) we are sure are working on HW?16:06
litghostacomodi: Ya, this is with timing based placement and routing16:07
litghostacomodi: FYI, just because something works on hardware does not mean it meets timing.  The timing analysis is examining worst case setup conditions (and hold), and on our test setups we are likely not running at the SLOW corner16:09
