5 months ago Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in our work on RoutePlace. We're glad to hear that you found the paper interesting and are considering using it to enhance placement processes.
Regarding your questions:
Scripts for Data Collection: We will provide the necessary scripts and a detailed guide on how to collect and format the data as described, including the construction of files. We will upload these to the GitHub repository within the next few days and notify you once they are available.
Saving Placement Results of All Epochs: We don't save results of all epochs, we only collect results with specific electric overflow. For details, you can refer to Appendix B.5 of our paper and upcoming code releases in the future. The collected results can aid RouteGNN in predicting routability during placement.

Dear Authors,
I am interested in the work about the placers with GNN published in the KDD 2024. I have already downloaded the DAC2012 and ISPD2011 benchmarks and decided to have a try.
However, I am confused with the first step about the data collections. I have not found any script or any details in the repo about how to collect the data in the format you describe. Can you provide the scripts about how to construct the files like iter_{epochs}x.npy, iter{epochs}_y.npy? It is not an easy work because I am not familiar with the internal structure in these files.
Another question is that why we need to save the placement results of all the epochs? As I understand, it is just related to the placement results in the end.
Thank you
Best Regards, Qin
