Abstract

A system and method for mapping Intellectual Property (IP) components onto a pre-fabricated chip slice allows a user to select a target location for placement of an IP component onto a slice. A slice definition of the pre-fabricated chip slice is searched for a legal location for the IP component that is near to the target location. The IP component is mapped to the legal location.
