Qiskit Metal - During rebuild, only rebuild what needs to be done.

[priti-ashvin-shah-ibm]

Description

When using Qiskit Metal, after components are added to the design, Rebuild has to happen to populate the Pandas tables. These tables are QGeometry tables and NetInformation tables. They are used to render to different tools i.e. Metal GUI, GDS file, Ansys

The Pandas tables have to be accurate.

The rebuild can waste time when rebuilding components that have not been changed. The project is to add some logic to determine which components can avoid the need to rebuilt.

Deliverables

Start a way to identify ways to reduce the number of components that need to be rebuilt. Mentors can help with that, and the logic needs to be implemented in Metal back-end code.
