Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products for providing wire orientation-based latch shuddling are provided. Aspects include determining a classification of each latch of a plurality of latches as having a vertical orientation, a horizontal orientation or a mixed orientation. Aspects also include clustering the plurality of latches into one or more clusters based on the classifications of the plurality of latches. Each of the one or more clusters includes a unique set of latches of the plurality of latches. Aspects also include shuddling each of the one or more clusters around a local clock buffer within a layout. Each cluster of the one or more clusters is shuddled in a configuration around the local clock buffer based on the classifications of the corresponding unique set of latches of the plurality of latches.
