METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE ASSIGNMENT OF CIRCUIT LOCATIONS DURING FABRICATION

The method for improving circuit location assignment is capable of operating in the boolean, electrical and spatial (location) domains. Optimization of location assignment parameters can be performed simultaneously by determining a subset of nets or paths and generating sets of motions to improve these nets or paths. Once sets of motions have been generated, they are tested to determine the most beneficial movement for improving the given circuit parameter (e.g., wireability, timing, etc.).
