Abstract
Systems and techniques for circuit placement are described. An electronic design automation (EDA) tool can receive a netlist for the circuit design. Next, the EDA tool can represent the netlist as a graph, and perform fuzzy clustering on the graph to obtain a set of clusters and a set of probability values. The EDA tool can then partition and place the circuit design based on the set of clusters and the set of probability values. The EDA tool can then optimize the placed circuit design. During optimization the EDA tool can reassign at least one cell to a different layout bin based on the set of probability values.
