1UA-AGE reaches full routing-completion parity on two PCB benchmarks

1UA-AGE reached 100% routing completion on both public benchmark classes: STRF at 98/98 in three final runs, and STM32 at 211/211 in three final runs. DeepPCB publishes 98/98 and 210/210 respectively. This is full parity against the completion evidence the competitor publishes—not a claim about undisclosed infrastructure, runtime, identical topology or manufacturing readiness.

Full routing-completion parity · two benchmarks · six final runs

Frozen input

Before — the frozen KiCad fixture: 0 tracks, 0 vias and 80 native unrouted items. KiCad’s 80 is not the denominator used by the frozen acceptance receipt.

Counted result

After — final run C1 in the identical KiCad viewport: 464 tracks, 18 vias, 0 native unrouted items; 98/98 frozen routing obligations and 16/16 board-answerable gates passed.

What was held constant

  • The same frozen STRF fixture was used for all three final runs; nothing was pre-routed.
  • The public before and after images use the same KiCad 10.0.5 viewport, scale, orientation, layer set and zone-outline mode.
  • The three runs produced different routing solutions, then passed the same run-local acceptance procedure.

Three final runs, one result

C198/98 · 16/16 gates

464 tracks · 18 vias · 339.8 mm

E198/98 · 16/16 gates

459 tracks · 18 vias · 339.7 mm

F198/98 · 16/16 gates

298 tracks · 19 vias · 373.9 mm

Each run introduced 0 new routing-induced DRC violations. This is not a DRC-clean claim: run C1 retains 195 baseline violations, down from 295 in the bare fixture.

Like-for-like public comparison

DeepPCB publishes completed routing results for two boards. 1UA-AGE reached the same published outcome—100% routing completion—on both benchmark classes, with three final accepted runs per board. The disclosed evidence supports this statement:

Full parity was achieved on the competitor’s published completion criterion: STRF 100% ↔ 100%, STM32 100% ↔ 100%.

DeepPCB · STRF98/98 · 100%KiCad · vendor-published
1UA-AGE · STRF C1/E1/F198/98 ×3 · 100%KiCad · run-local acceptance
DeepPCB · STM32210/210 · 100%Altium representation · vendor-published
1UA-AGE · STM32 T1/T2/T3211/211 ×3 · 100%Pinned KiCad conversion · run-local acceptance

Why 210/210 and 211/211 are still completion parity

Both are 100% completion results for the same STM32 benchmark class in their respective declared representations. DeepPCB publishes 210/210 in its Altium representation; the pinned 1UA-AGE KiCad conversion contains 211 obligations and completed 211/211 in T1, T2 and T3, with 19/19 applicable gates and 0 new routing-induced DRC violations each time. The one-item denominator difference is a CAD-conversion and verifier-semantics difference—not an extra connection completed by 1UA-AGE. It prevents an object-by-object equality claim, but it does not negate parity on the completion evidence DeepPCB publishes. 1UA-AGE did not use Altium Designer.

Independent visual review

Serhii Kondratiev, PhD, Senior Lecturer at Odesa Polytechnic, completed an independent visual engineering review of the supplied PCB files and positively assessed the visible placement and routing. The review was visual; it was not an electrical, fabrication or physical validation.

Claim boundaries

  • No runtime comparison: the two published time measurements cover different scopes.
  • No claim of fewer vias, better topology, DRC cleanliness or general superiority.
  • No infrastructure comparison: DeepPCB does not publish a comparable hardware and execution-infrastructure record on these benchmark pages.
  • Not electrically verified, not physically validated and not manufacturing-ready.
  • The canonical runs have not been independently reproduced.
