Method for automatic iterative area placement of module cells in an integrated circuit layout

摘要: In a computer system, method for an area based place and route of integrated circuit layout that provides automatic iterative placement module cells intelligently effectively. one embodiment, this is accomplished in three phases. The searching phase determines which hot spot to be refined on congestion map. Next, the refining chooses box with proper aspect ratio, cut line direction, options minimizing spot. scheduling then decides whether proceed another current result or restore previous exhibited superior characteristics. course placements, several parameters are randomly varied intelligent manner so successive placements produce equivalent better results. All without human intervention expert knowledge. Instead, system continuously runs its program until design goal attained.
