UPDATING PLACEMENT DURING TECHNOLOGY MAPPING

摘要

A method for estimating the position of a matched cell takes into account the interconnective ties of that cell, without relying on the location of cells connected to the matched cell. The new method is referred to as the Weighted Center of Mass of Covered method. In this method, weights are given to the various nodes which are part of the match. These weights are based on the number of connections between the nodes and child nodes of the match. The placement of the matched cell is based on the initial positions given to the nodes making up the match, and the weights calculated for those nodes.
