ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are methods and systems for formulating a wirelength estimate that takes into account whether any of the routing directions are unavailable. Under certain circumstances, one or more of the routing layers may not be available for routing a wire. If this occurs, then the bounding box that is determined for performing the wirelength estimate would take into account the unavailability of the layer.
