CircuitNet

CircuitNet is an open-source dataset dedicated to machine learning (ML) applications in electronic design automation (EDA). We have collected more than 20K samples from versatile runs of commercial design tools based on open-source designs with various features for multiple ML for EDA applications.

This documentation is organized as followed:

• Introduction: introduction and quick start.
• Feature Description: name conventions, calculation method, characteristics and visualization.

The codes in the tutorial page is available in our github repository https://github.com/circuitnet/CircuitNet.

This project is under active development. We are expanding the dataset to include diverse and large-scale designs for versatile ML applications in EDA. If you have any feedback or questions, please feel free to contact us or raise a issue in our github repository.

We call for contributions from the community to expand the dataset. Please contact yibolin@pku.edu.cn if you want to contribute. We will acknowledge your contributions on the website.

Change Log

• 2023/7/24

  Code for feature extraction released. Users can use it to implement self-defined features with the LEF/DEF we released or extract features with LEF/DEF from other sources. Read the README for more information.

• 2023/6/29

  Code for net delay prediction released. A simple tutorial on net delay prediction is added to our website.

• 2023/6/14

  The original dataset is renamed to CircuitNet-N28, and additional timing features are released.

  New dataset CircuitNet-N14 is released, supporting congestion, IR drop and timing prediction.

• 2023/3/22
