Abstract
A method and apparatus to cluster nodes of a hypergraph is described. The method improves the clustering by placing the hypergraph into an N-dimensional space. The method receives a design represented by a hypergraph with a plurality of nodes. The method places the plurality of nodes of the hypergraph into the N-dimensional space, where N is greater than or equal to 2. The method clusters nodes of the hypergraph based on locations of the plurality of nodes in the N-dimensional space.
