Abstract
A method of selecting routing resources in a multi-chip integrated circuit device is described. The method comprises placing a design on the multi-chip integrated circuit device; estimating a number of vias required to enable connections between chips of the multi-chip integrated circuit device that is placed with a portion of the design; identifying an area of a chip having a number of vias that is greater than a maximum number of vias for the area of the chip; selecting a partition window defining resources in the chip that is placed with the portion of the design, where in the partition window is selected to allow the number of vias to meet a maximum requirement of vias for the partition window; and re-placing the portion of the design within the partition window so that the number of vias in the area of the chip is within the maximum number of vias for the area.
