Abstract
A process and apparatus are provided for tiling objects, such as design memories, in one or more respective object locations in a layout pattern. For each object, the following steps are performed recursively based on a comparison of at least one of a capacity and a width of the object and that of the respective object location: (1) do nothing; (2) reconfigure the object to have a different capacity and/or width; and (3) split the object into two or more separate objects. The recursion is repeated for each reconfigured object and each separated object.
