Abstract
Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for implementing virtual prototyping for electronic designs. These techniques identify a plurality of leaf cells into a hierarchical physical design of an electronic design, generate the hierarchical physical design at least by performing hierarchical placement for the plurality of leaf cells based in part or in whole upon one or more factors, and revise the placed hierarchical physical design at least by performing hierarchical routing for the plurality of leaf cells on the hierarchical physical design. One aspect may further detach a virtual cell in the hierarchical physical design at least by grouping a first set of leaf cells and representing the first set of leaf cells with a first placeholder.
