The Topomo physical-system compiler from Get2Chip models chip topology while examining the effects of architecture, block size and location, and physical wiring. Topomo integrates and automates block partitioning, block placement, global routing, and synthesis. The tool partitions a multimillion-gate design into system-level blocks based on actual timing and area to achieve convergence. It automatically identifies long and short wires and triggers global synthesis and timing optimization.
