Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for implementing electronic designs using constraint driven techniques

Abstract

One aspect checks and prepares design data () based on design rule(s) to identify tracks for physical implementation of an electronic design. Structured physical implementation () is performed to implement at least a part of the electronic design by using the tracks under separate design rule(s). Structured physical implementation using the tracks under separate design rules result in correct-by-construction implementation results automatically satisfying the design rule(s), without performing additional design rule checking on the design rule(s). Additional physical implementation () may be optionally performed for portion(s) of the electronic design not implemented with the structured physical implementation. Layout fixing or optimization may be optionally performed to fix design rule violations in the additional physical implementation results, if any, or to optimize the additional physical implementation results.
