Systems and methods for clustering pins for power
Various embodiments provide for clustering pins of a circuit design for connection to a power-ground network (PG) of the circuit design using a nearest neighbor graph. Pin clustering, according to some embodiments, can minimize wirelength, minimize a number of vias, satisfy constraints relating to a pin count (e.g., maximum number of pins per power-ground access point), and satisfy constraints relating to a bounding box size.
