Routed wires in an advanced-technology chip design

Caption

Zoomed-in view of routed wires in a tiny fragment of an advanced-technology chip design produced by the UCSD-led "OpenROAD" project. An entire chip layout will consist of many thousands of such fragments, and simultaneously optimize for speed, energy-efficiency, reliability, security, cost and many other goals.
