Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for hierarchical integrated circuit repartitioning are provided. The method includes receiving parent level placement data for one or more interconnecting elements and designating at least one child to receive a pushdown of the one or more interconnecting elements from the parent level. For each child designated to receive the pushdown of the one or more interconnecting elements, the method further includes determining a physical coverage area of the child, identifying which of the one or more interconnecting elements within the physical coverage area of the child to pushdown into the child, generating an interconnecting element pushdown list for the child, including wiring layer information, and outputting the interconnecting element pushdown list.
