Abstract
A computing device reads a printed circuit board (PCB) layout file from a storage device. The PCB layout file includes arrangement information of signal lines, power lines, and power through-holes arranged on a PCB. Furthermore, the computing device sets a reference distance between a selected power through-hole and a neighboring signal line, and searches for one or more line segments of one or more signal lines where the a distance between each of the one or more line segment and the selected power through-hole is less than the reference distance.
