Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for implementing legal placement with contextual awareness for an electronic design. These techniques identify one or more hierarchies from one or more groups or one or more instances located at these one or more hierarchies in a layout or floorplan. A plurality of instances including the one or more identified instances may be promoted to an honorary top hierarchy. A layout operation may then be performed on the one or more identified instances based in part or in whole upon a boundary requirement and context information.
