  • Methods, systems, and computer program product for implementing interactive cross-domain package driven I/O planning and placement optimization
    Patent number: 8245171
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a system, and a computer program product for implementing interactive cross-domain package driven I/O planning and placement optimization of an electronic circuit design. In some embodiments, the method identifies an object on a first EDA tool session, determines a drop location for the first object based on a tentative location in the first EDA tool session, places the first object at the drop location, and adjusts the drop location via a second EDA tool session, performs placement or routing of a portion of the design. The method or the system further comprises placing a corresponding first object in the second EDA tool session, initiating the second EDA tool session object move in the first EDA tool session, determining whether a constraint is satisfied.
