Abstract
A system provides placement of components for an integrated circuit having a plurality of flip-flops. The system clusters the plurality of flip-flops into a plurality of clusters and relocates one or more of the flip-flops in response to overlapping placement locations. The clustering includes using a K-means algorithm to assign a flip-flop to a cluster while adding weight to each cluster based on its current size.
