Abstract

A method of estimating congestion for register transfer level code includes steps for receiving as input a floor plan mapped from the register transfer level code, identifying regions in the floor plan, computing routing demand numbers for the regions in the floor plan, computing routing resource numbers for the regions in the floor plan, and generating a congestion estimate of the register transfer level code as a function of the routing demand numbers and the routing resource numbers.
