Abstract
A computer implemented method for designing an integrated circuit (IC) having dimensions along first and second directions, and comprising at least a first block is presented. The method includes evaluating a demand ratio for the first block, the demand ratio being reflective of a ratio of a conductive wiring demand along the first direction and a conductive wiring demand along the second direction, when the computer is invoked to evaluate the demand ratio for the first block. The method further includes creating one or more wiring reservation blocks in accordance with the demand ratio.
