Abstract
Aspects include performing integrated circuit design. A processor identifies a child block of an integrated circuit for placement of a buffer-bay to insert a buffer in a portion of the integrated circuit reserved for the child block. The buffer-bay is divided into a plurality of buffer-bay segments. Parent-level routing information and one or more boundary conditions are analyzed to determine a plurality of placement options for the buffer-bay segments. A best possible placement is selected from the plurality of placement options for the buffer-bay segments as a planned buffer-bay layout. A routing of the integrated circuit is performed based on the planned buffer-bay layout.
