Abstract
A method of component placement for a multi-die integrated circuit (IC) can include partitioning a plurality of components of a netlist among a plurality of dies of the multi-die IC and selecting a superimposition model specifying a positioning of at least two of the plurality of dies at least partially superimposed with respect to one another. The method also can include assigning, by a processor, components of the netlist to hardware units within each of the plurality of dies according, at least in part, to a wire-length metric calculated using the superimposition model.
