Abstract
Method and apparatus for post-placement optimization of resources for connections is described. To optimize resource placement, search windows are generated responsive to driver and load components, as well as to a connection between the driver and load components. Adding in a straight-line path search window may be used as an alternative where a bypassed resource is to be relocated. Using connection-based optimization in combination with driver- and resource-based optimization results in improved optimization with negligible impact on runtime.
