Abstract

In this paper, a new path selection heuristic search algorithm is proposed for connecting two components of vertices. A novel feature of the algorithm is that the active terminals (vertices in the net which are not yet connected) are modeled as magnets during the path searching process. The heuristic search algorithm is applied to two commonly used multi-terminal net tree connection algorithms. Experimental results show that the new path selection heuristic search algorithm is better than the other algorithms which do not consider the active terminals.
