magnet placement命令
:
手册中的解释是Perform magnet placement,pulls std cells closer to macros and assigns legal locations,主要就是使得所关心的cell之间的net最短,就近摆放。
To improve the timing for the design or to improve the congestion for a complex floor plan we can use magnetic placement to specify fixed objects as magnets and icc moves their connected standard cells close to them.For the best results perform the magnetic placement before standard cells are placed.
另一种方式是采用magnet_placement,因为所有的Memory在Floorplan阶段位置都固定了,因此我们可以在Placement之前,将Memory或者它的Clock Pin设置成磁铁(Magnet),这样ICG就会像铁一样会自动摆放的离Memory更近些。
