Abstract
In this paper, Manhattan measure of distance is used to estimate the length of routing nets, and the module orientation problem based on Manhattan measure is proposed. According to the geometrical properties of Manhattan measure, the module orientation problem for the macro cell placement and the standard cell placement can be reducible to the minimum cut partition problem in an undirected graph and further proven to be NP-complete
