Abstract :
Techniques which are being developed for the floorplanning of layouts in the Florida Hardware Design Language (FHDL) layout tool are present. These techniques show a different approach to the floorplanning of those layouts which are to contain a mixture of standard cells and macrocells. General cell placement and floorplanning are discussed. Standard cell collection, block generation, and placement optimization are discussed
