Abstract
A method and system for placing logic nodes based on an estimated wiring congestion are provided. Specifically, under the present invention, relative probabilities for potential implementations of wiring interconnects between logic nodes are determined. Then, for each edge between adjacent bins, a total of corresponding relative probabilities is compared to a wiring availability. Based on the comparison, the logic nodes can be placed within wiring constraints.
