ABSTRACT:
Methods for routing in the design of integrated circuits (ICs) to simplify the routing task. The method includes dividing a given IC design into a limited number of non-overlapping tiles, and then routing all tiles in parallel, each tile being independently routed by a standard router. Thereafter, routed tiles are assembled to form a routing solution for the entire IC. Details of exemplary methods are disclosed.
