ABSTRACT:
Logic signal routability in programmable logic array integrated circuit devices is improved by selecting the possible interconnections between various resources on the device so that various constraints or goals are satisfied. Improving routability in this way tends to reduce instances in which desired interconnections are blocked by other connections that have already been made.
