PCBench: A Dataset for Printed Circuit Board Routing
DescriptionRouting is a crucial step in designing a printed circuit board (PCB). However, evaluating and comparing automatic PCB routers are challenging due to the lack of common datasets. Consequently, many publications use small, undisclosed test sets to compare themselves against baselines. To address these issues, we curate PCBench, a dataset of PCB routing problems and solutions after stringent quality check on community-endorsed, open-source PCB designs. Our dataset is 100 times larger than those used in existing publications and can be further expanded by the community using our scripts supporting multiple input formats. To allow more computational professionals, especially those from the Machine Learning (ML) community, to advance PCB routing research, we propose a JSON-based syntax to represent PCB routing problems and their solutions using common math objects and data structures that anyone with basic computing training can understand. We hope this dataset can facilitate the PCB routing research, especially those using ML.
