  • Patent number: 12008300
    Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to identify net lines corresponding to connections between pins of a source layout design describing a first electronic device and pins of a target layout design describing a second electronic device, scan the net lines in an order selected based, at least in part, on an orientation of the net lines between pins of the source layout design and the pins of the target layout design, identify a plurality of the scanned net lines cross each other, and unravel the crossed net lines by swapping pin assignments of the crossed net lines. The computing system can implement a machine learning algorithm having a first stage to determine a scan order for the net lines and having a second stage to identify the net lines that cross each other and unravel the crossed net lines.
