A method () of placing local clock nets in a circuit design can include identifying the local clock nets for the circuit design and selecting components corresponding to each local clock net (), and assigning initial locations to each component of the local clock nets (). The method further can include generating at least one cost function () to evaluate () different placements of components of the local clock nets. The components () of the local clock nets () can be annealed () using one or more of the cost functions to assign locations to each component of the local clock nets.
