Implementing enhanced physical design quality using historical placement analytics

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for implementing enhanced physical design quality using historical placement analytics in a design of an integrated gate. Mathematical data analysis is performed to determine placement trends in order to seed an initial placement of subsequent physical design placement processes. A placement seed is generated for a subsequent placement process.

1. A computer-implemented method for implementing enhanced physical design quality using historical placement analytics in a gate design in a computer system including a processor, a physical design tool tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine readable medium used in implementing enhanced physical design quality, said processor using said physical design tool comprising the steps of:
performing mathematical data analysis to determine placement trends for subsequent physical design placement processes; generating a placement seed used for a subsequent placement process; performing the subsequent placement process for each gate including calculating an average of X and Y coordinates, and removing outliers for a current gate by removing locations exceeding a predefined threshold radius, and updating the placement seed to continue the subsequent placement process.
