Contributions summary:Peter made several commits focused on improving the code related to routing, path management, and route budgets within the VTR (Verilog to Routing) framework. Their work involved refactoring connection router code, implementing and fixing issues with RCV (Routing with Congestion and Voltage) algorithms, and also contributing to the delay calculations. The changes seem to aim at performance improvements and more efficient handling of hold time violations to enable successful routing.
