Incremental placement of design objects in integrated circuit design
An incremental placement method uses a set of connections to optimize and a set of movable design objects. The movable design objects are unplaced. A plurality of anchoring connections is associated with the movable design objects. A set of weights is associated with the set of connections to optimize and the plurality of anchoring connections. An objective function is constructed using the set of connections to optimize, the plurality of anchoring connections, and the set of weights. The objective function is minimized to obtain a placement of the movable design objects.
