Wirelength Distribution Schemes and Techniques

A method, comprising:

• acquiring an integrated circuit layout of physical cells from a database;
• defining wirelength relationships between input/output (IO) connections (T) and a cell count (N) for the physical cells in multiple domains;
• defining wirelength parameters in each domain of the multiple domains;
• generating a data file for the integrated circuit layout of the physical cells based on the wirelength relationships and the wirelength parameters to guide power and performance of the integrated circuit layout of the physical cells;
• and
• fabricating, or contributing to the fabrication of, an integrated circuit based on the data file for the integrated circuit layout of the physical cells.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

• acquire an integrated circuit layout of physical cells from a database;
• define wirelength relationships between input/output (IO) connections (T) and a cell count (N) for the physical cells in multiple domains;
• define wirelength parameters of the integrated circuit layout for each domain of the multiple domains;
• generate a data file for the integrated circuit layout of the physical cells based on the wirelength relationships and the wirelength parameters to guide power and performance of the integrated circuit layout of the physical cells;
• and
• fabricate, or cause to be fabricated, an integrated circuit based on the data file for the integrated circuit layout of the physical cells.
