Abstract

The article discusses the CAD architecture for PCB design, designed to create a new generation design system, focused on a large number of components, additional routing layers. The identified disadvantage of modern CAD printed circuit boards is a large load on the CPU when constructing a two-dimensional image in the construction area. Zooming while viewing the PCB results in image rebuilding, where elements such as circles, arcs, and polygon cutouts put additional CPU load and slow down system performance. The article discusses the CAD architecture based on the preparation of data on design elements in a format suitable for transfer to the GPU using the API of the OpenGL library. This approach transfers a significant part of the computational load to the GPU, which increases the overall performance of the CAD graphics subsystem. Additionally, the issues of using scripting languages for the automated creation of regular structures, such as external component pins, buses and vias for connecting signals in a regular way, are considered.
