Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided for determining routing of data paths in interconnect circuitry for an integrated circuit. The method includes the steps of defining a plurality of cells to be provided along the wide interface of the circuitry, further devices being associated with at least one of the cells, and defining the circuitry as an array of blocks formed in rows and columns, with each cell abutting one of the columns. The method includes the steps of: providing a predetermined set of tiles, each tile providing a predetermined wiring layout, and for each block, applying predetermined rules to determine one of the tiles to be used to implement that block, where the rules take into account the location of the block in the array and any association between the further devices and the cells.
