Floorplanning by topological constraint reduction
Abstract
The problem considered is that of producing a legal floorplan that respects a given topological constraint set. The floorplanning approach described is targeted for multilayer sea-of-cells based designs. Therefore it is assumed that no channel separations are required between the blocks. The approach can be generalized to incorporate channel separations.
