Show HN: Autorouter Benchmark on Various PCBs

Category: devtools

Tags: benchmark, pcb, autorouting, kicad, eda

Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

autorouter-bench is a reproducible benchmark for PCB autorouters, using KiCad as an independent referee to score completion, DRC violations, and other metrics on real open-hardware boards. It provides curated board sets (8 core boards and 25 additional public boards) with pinned upstream sources and consistent design rules, enabling fair comparison of routing tools. The project fills a gap in objective evaluation for EDA autorouting and is particularly valuable for hardware engineers and researchers.

Target audience: hardware engineers, EDA tool developers, researchers in electronic design automation
