US Patent 10496777 Physical synthesis for multi-die integrated circuit technology

Physical synthesis for a circuit design can include determining, using a processor, a candidate net from a circuit design, wherein the candidate net spans a plurality of dies of a multi-die integrated circuit, and modifying, using the processor, the candidate net by performing physical synthesis resulting in a modified candidate net. The physical synthesis includes relocating a driver or a load of the candidate net or replicating the driver of the candidate net. An incremental routing can be performed on the modified candidate net using the processor. Further, the modified candidate net can be selectively committed using the processor based upon a timing analysis.
