Abstract
A floor planning tool is provided that performs the functions that are typically performed by floor planning tools, but in addition, determines the supply of routing resources and the demand on routing resources for all routing channels while applying variable routing rules and static timing estimations to arrive at a preliminary routed floor plan. This drastically reduces the number of iterations that subsequently will need to be performed by the floor planning tool and by routing and static timing analysis tools to arrive at a final routed floor plan.
