Abstract
The availability of device resources of an IC are quantified for a circuit design by building a representation of resource sites for the IC. Initial availability values are assigned to the resource sites, and any components having locking constraints are identified and placed into their respective sites. From the remaining resource sites, candidate sites for a component of the circuit design are identified. The candidate sites are summed, and the initial availability values of the candidate sites are modified according to the sum.
