Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed to automatically synthesize a custom integrated circuit by encoding architecture level knowledge in a data model to generate and pass new constraints for physical synthesis of a chip specification uniquely customized to computer readable code. The system receives a look-ahead cost function during architecture optimization consistent with cost observed later in the flow after detailed physical synthesis is performed. The look-ahead cost function is generated from a prior iteration and supplied to a subsequent iteration through the data model.
