-/*===================================================================*/

-1. Requirements
-
-An i386 Linux system (though others will certainly work with some tweaks).
-A standard ANSI C development platform.  
-
-The following are optional, but useful:
-
-- hMetis partitioner.  This can be obtained from (www.cs.umn.edu/~metis)
-    Place (links to) the files "libhmetis.a" and "libhtmetis.h" in this directory.
-    Otherwise, #define NO_HMETIS in the file "place_gordian.h"
-- Java SDK, if compiling BookshelfView is desired.
-- Perl, if additional script utilities are desired.
-
-2. Descriptions of contents:
-
-place_base.h contains the basic data structures and "external" API.
-place_gordian.h contains the "internal" API and configuration options.
-
-There are also several utilities:
-
-i) place_test 
-
-Reads a netlist description in GSRC Bookshelf format, performs global placement,
-and rewrites the placement file.  An example usage:
-
-./place_test ac97_emap.nodes ac97_emap.nets ac97_emap.pl
-
-ii) BookshelfView
-
-A simple Java GUI to view the resulting placements.  It has been tested with
-Java 5 and 6.  Usage:
-
-java BookshelfView ac97_emap.nodes ac97_emap.pl
-
-iii) hpwl
-
-A perl script to print the half-perimeter wirelength of a placement.  Usage:
-
-./hpwl ac97_emap.nets ac97_emal.pl
-
