What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
7.0 , ubuntu 14.0 LTE

Please provide any additional information below.

I've been tried to converted "k4-n4.xml" architecture from version 5.0 to 
version 7.0. However,the result of max channel widths are different (15 vs 18), 
When I executed cluster 4 "e64.blif" , both in v5.0 and v7.0. Am I missing 
something that I should notice ?

A few things.  You probably mean min channel instead of max channel width.  You 
are using a unidirectional architecture so your channel widths cannot be odd 
(15 should not happen unless there is a bug in the code).  And finally, the 
algorithms are pseudorandom so min channel width in the same build can change 
with something as simple as a different starting seed.

I just realized that we do not have links to background papers, which are 
important for understanding the use of the tool.  Redirecting to Kevin to add 
some background papers to wiki.

I agree we should add more background papers and guides on tool usage.

However, since Google code is shutting down this year, this will probably be 
deferred until we've transitioned to new code hosting (likely Github).
