Abstract

Architecture design (AD), architecture floorplanning (AF), and transaction analysis (TA) are performed before transaction-analysis-based floorplanning (TF). Then, area estimation (CE) is performed on functional parts and connections before area-based floorplanning (CF) and area optimization (CO) are performed, and whether or not the area specifications area satisfied or not is validated (CR). Besides, power consumption estimation (PE) is performed to check whether or not the power consumption specifications are satisfied (PR). In the case of taking a parallelization approach to realize lower power consumption, parallelization design (PD) is performed. After the power consumption specifications are satisfied, power supply wiring/floorplanning is performed.
