Fiction is a way to challenge the status quo and to push the boundaries of conventional thinking. — unknown

👀 What's Changed

This latest version of fiction constitutes a whole year of our research efforts, which we condensed into this open-source platform for the FCN community to build upon. Following last year's rework, we have greatly extended fiction's header-only library with new algorithms and data structures.

Thanks to @Drewniok's efforts and @samuelngsh's support, we have introduced the capability to physically simulate SiDB layouts both heuristically and exhaustively for the first time in fiction. In addition, we have integrated the SiDB Bestagon gate library to obtain cell-level SiDB layouts from placed and routed gate-level descriptions, and improved the interoperability with SiQAD by enabling the parsing of SQD files.

Moreover, we have added a comprehensive path-finding and routing library that supports well-established algorithms from the literature, including A*, JPS, and Yen's algorithm, as well as our own multi-path routing algorithm, color routing. Among these new additions are also a graph coloring engine and a generic function optimizer based on simulated annealing that are useful in many design automation contexts.

Furthermore, we have added support for the molecular FCN simulator SCERPA (many thanks to Giuliana Beretta!), the CFE clocking scheme, parallel STL algorithms, performance improvements across many core data structures, an expanded CI setup, and much more.

Full CHANGELOG: v0.4.0...v0.5.0

Many thanks to all contributors!
