Abstract
Various embodiments provide for layer assignment of a network of a circuit design based on a wirelength threshold, which can facilitate consideration of timing and electromigration and which may be part of electronic design automation (EDA) of a circuit design. More particularly, some embodiments determine (e.g., calculate) a wirelength threshold for a net (e.g., each net) of a circuit design based on one or more characteristics of the net, and select a layer for at least a portion of the net based on the wirelength threshold.
