A computer-implemented method of integrated circuit design comprises: using a computer, producing an integrated circuit layout for multiple instances of a circuitry element, wherein interface components in one instance of said circuitry element communicate with complementary interface components in an adjacent instance of said circuitry element, said interface components being identical between said multiple instances; said producing step comprising: for one instance of said circuitry element, generating an integrated circuit layout for said one instance of said circuitry element on the basis of timing parameters of said complementary interface components with which said one instance communicates in use; detecting timing characteristics of said interface components of said one instance of said circuitry element; applying said detected timing characteristics as said timing parameters of said complementary interface components; and repeating said generating step.
