👀 What's Changed

Another release packed with features! We added features to SiDB operational domain analysis and temperature simulation as well SVG file writing for SiDB layouts. Furthermore, we made edits to pyfiction, most notably supporting Python 3.13 and GIL-free Python. Our Docker setup also received some love, with streamlined builds, dependency management via @dependabot, and OCI-conforming tags. As always, we fixed bugs and updated our dependencies to the latest versions.

v0.6.3

👀 What's Changed

Compared to the previous point releases, this one introduces several larger and more impactful features.

  1. Graph-Oriented Layout Design (GOLD)
    This release includes the introduction of GOLD, an innovative algorithm designed for gate-level layout creation. GOLD strikes a balance between runtime efficiency and result quality, making it ideal for medium-sized inputs that are too complex for exact methods.

  2. Defect-Aware On-the-Fly SiDB Circuit Design
    We’ve added support for defect-aware circuit design that enables precise, dot-level composition even in the presence of atomic defects. This approach doesn't rely on a pre-defined gate library; instead, it dynamically generates one, guided by physical simulations.

  3. Multi-Dimensional Operational Domain Computation
    The operational domain computation feature now supports multidimensional sweeps, providing more flexibility and unprecedented insight into SiDB reliability. Additionally, users not utilizing execution policies will notice a significant performance boost.

As always, this release also includes numerous bug fixes, updates, and other changes, detailed below.

👀 What's Changed

This is a minor bugfix release, mainly to fix the deployment of wheels to PyPI. Due to the new way GitHub actions handle artifacts, our wheels were constantly overwritten by ones compiled later. This is now fixed. Many thanks to @simon1hofmann for reporting and fixing this issue!

v0.6.0

When it comes to the past, everyone writes fiction. ― Stephen King

👀 What's Changed

We keep saying that but this latest release of fiction is again the biggest one yet 💪 It is packed with another year's worth of research and marks a milestone on our mission to bring you the best FCN framework in the world 🌍 Let's dive into v0.6.0 together.

Python Bindings

A long time in the making, finally official: Python bindings for fiction's C++ header-only library 🐍 You can now combine the flexibility of Python's ecosystem with the performance of C++ to explore the world of FCN for yourself. Since we publish pre-built wheels on PyPI, utilizing fiction in your project is merely a pip call away:

pip install mnt.pyfiction

Many, many thanks to @Drewniok and @simon1hofmann who contributed greatly to the bindings! 🙏

SiDB Simulation

We doubled down on what we started: @Drewniok made sure that SiDB simulation in fiction has never been more powerful. This release includes his exhaustive ground-state simulation engine QuickExact, the fastest in the world! ⚡ It is also available as a plugin for SiQAD thanks to @samuelngsh's guidance.

Furthermore, for the first time ever, we feature temperature-aware and atomic defect-aware simulation, automatic exhaustive gate design, and efficient operational domain computation algorithms. Moreover, all these methods now work on the H-Si(100)-2x1 and H-Si(111)-1x1 lattice orientations. Many thanks to @samuelngsh for the ongoing collaboration!

Physical Design

Naturally, we kept pursuing our goal of closing the design gap between conventional VLSI and FCN. @simon1hofmann brings you his post-layout optimization and wiring reduction algorithms that greatly reduce the area and delay of FCN layouts. Furthermore, his hexagonalization enables the transfer of knowledge from the QCA domain to SiDB layouts 🤯 like our new SAT-based clock number assignment algorithm.

In an effort to bring the worlds of physics and design automation closer together, we enable atomic defect-aware physical design to evade material imperfections during placement and routing. Many thanks to @jeremiah-croshaw for the collaboration!

Miscellaneous

As always, we smashed bugs wherever we found them 🐛 we worked on usability, improved performance, updated all libraries to their latest versions, overhauled the documentation and build system, extended the CI setup, and reached 98%+ code coverage on CodeCov ☂️ Many more changes small and big hide in the full release notes. Check them out below. Thanks here go to @wlambooy and @hibenj who made their first contributions 🎉

v0.5.0

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.

v0.4.0

There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong. — Neil Gaiman

This release states the largest update to fiction yet. Its architecture has been completely reworked to create a platform upon which the FCN community can build. To this end, fiction now provides

  1. a header-only template library that can be utilized in third-party projects,
  2. a framework for experiments for rapid prototyping and reproducible findings, and
  3. the established CLI that is now built with fiction's new library.

Furthermore, the build system has been revised and third-party dependencies have been cut to leave behind only what was really necessary. No more Boost means less trouble compiling on any system. Z3 is now an optional dependency that, if installed, enables additional features.

Finally, there is a whole lot of new features including but not limited to support for the Silicon Dangling Bond (SiDB) technology and the SiQAD simulator (many thanks to Samuel Sze Hang Ng for the collaboration!) as well as the QCA-STACK tool for 3D QCA circuits (many thanks to Willem Lambooy for the collaboration!), the integration of a technology mapper (many thanks to Alessandro Tempia Calvino for his support!), layout types with hexagonal tiles, and much more.

To learn more about the latest features, see the full CHANGELOG. To get started with writing your own tool built with fiction, check out the DOCUMENTATION.

v0.3.2

This version adds a novel One-pass Synthesis algorithm for Physical Design that combines logic synthesis and placement & routing into a single step. Many thanks to Winston Haaswijk for the collaboration on this project! The new command can be executed via onepass. For further information, refer to the paper "One-pass Synthesis for Field-coupled Nanotechnologies" in ASP-DAC 2021.

Additionally, this release includes updates to libraries and the build system alongside the novel tt_reader and csv_writer classes for experimental evaluations. To learn more, see the full CHANGELOG.
