Header: Name Type InstCount Boundary Area

• Column 1: <cluster name>, same as in Clusters.out
• Column 2: Type of cluster, exclusive by default.
• Column 3: Amount of instances in the cluster [integer]
• Column 4: Coordinates of the cluster's bottom left corner, (<x coordinate [float]>,<y coordinate [float]>)
• Column 5: Coordinates of the cluster's top right corner, (<x coordinate [float]>,<y coordinate [float]>) Columns 4 and 5 only make sense if the cluster is rectangular shaped.
• Column 6: area of the cluster in µm2 [float]

Each line: <cluster name> <instance name 1> <...> <instance name n>.

Each line is <net name> <instance name 1> <...> <instance name n>.

Header: NET NUM_PINS LENGTH

Then each line is <net name> <number of pins [integer]> <length in µm [float]>.

Memory block file specific to some designs. The relevant lines should be as follows: <instance name> <instance type> <amount of such instance> <total area of the gates in the instance> <total physical area of the instance> <porosity [default: unspecified]> <total area of the cumulated instance> <width> <height> <orientation> <type of standard cells inside>
