Abstract
A method and system for the quick placement of electronic circuits using orthogonal one dimensional placements. All circuits of a design may be placed in a linear dimension to obtain a first placement. Next, those same circuits may be placed in a second linear dimension, orthogonal to the first dimension, in order to obtain a second placement. Finally, a two dimensional placement for the circuits may be created by selecting for each circuit element a first coordinate from the first placement and a second coordinate from the second placement.
