Abstract
Differences between block interfaces of a partitioned logic block in two floorplans of an integrated circuit can be determined by comparing an image of pins of a partitioned logic block in a first floorplan of the integrated circuit with an image of pins of the partitioned logic block in a second floorplan of the integrated circuit. The second floorplan can represent a new floorplan design resulting from a change to an integrated circuit design represented by the first floorplan. If no differences exist between pins of the partitioned logic block in the first and second floorplans, information representing the partitioned logic block in the second floorplan can be substituted with information representing the partitioned logic block in the first floorplan.
