ABSTRACT:
A system that partitions an integrated circuit. First, the system receives a placement for an integrated circuit. The system then calculates a joint-utilization ratio for pairs of logic modules in the placement. Next, the system sorts the pairs of logic modules based on the joint-utilization ratio. The system then selects top pairs of logic modules based on the joint-utilization ratio and clusters the top pairs of logic modules into new partitions.
