This is graywolf - a fork of TimberWolf 6.3.5

TimberWolf was developed at Yale University, and was distributed as open source for a time until it was taken commercial. The last open-source version of TimberWolf does not perform detail routing, but is a professional-grade placement tool. In order to continue improving the open-source version, graywolf has been forked off from version 6.3.5 of TimberWolf.

The main improvement in graywolf is that the build process is more streamlined and that it behaves as a normal linux tool - you can call it from anywhere and no environment variables must be set first.

What it does

graywolf is used for placement in VLSI design. It's mainly used together with qflow.

Install procedure
