It's for a 4096-node cluster arranged in a 12-bit hamming-distance 1 graph. If you know what I'm talking about please don't spoil it for the others.

Yeah, it's a very expensive hobby project, but I can see some applications for similar pathological backplanes and BGA escape routing. Of course it doesn't do impedance control, length matching or differential pairs, but this could be useful on a _very small subset_ of _very complex boards_.

Basically I accidently stumbled into one of the hardest routing problems I've ever seen, and decided to build an autorouter. And that might be useful for other people.
