We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Autorouter",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Autorouter shrinks die sizes from
Synopsys, which we summarised at the time by saying "Novel MinChip technology analyses physical design complexity and identifies the smallest routable size for semiconductor designs".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Router adds intelligence to automation from
Mentor Graphics UK: "Revolutionary routing technology combines the knowledge of an engineer, skill of a board designer and power of an autorouter".
In December 2005, we covered the news from National Instruments
concerning its Multisim 9
- take a look at Electronics Workbench announces Multisim 9
which says: "Electronics Workbench, a National Instruments company, has announced the release of Multisim 9".
Take a look also at the news release from Mentor Graphics UK, PCB design solutions enhanced,
as well as Budget design package boasts high-end features from Adept Scientific,
and Board design system comes bang up to date from Altium.
