Abstract
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for using an out-of-context sub-block in a hierarchical design flow for an integrated circuit are disclosed. For example, the method identifies one or more sub-blocks in the hierarchical design flow that are eligible for creating the out-of-context sub-block, receives a selection of one of the one or more sub-blocks that are eligible and creates the out-of-context sub-block for the one of the one or more sub-blocks that is selected.
