More Information
Summary:A method for estimating resources during design planning is generally provided. A first step generally involves receiving design information for an integrated circuit design. A first portion of the integrated circuit design is generally complete, while a second portion of the integrated circuit design is generally incomplete. A second step generally involves receiving user input of estimated design information for the second portion of the integrated circuit design. A third step generally involves automatically generating one or more representative blocks representing the second portion of the integrated circuit design based on the user input. The one or more representative blocks may be generated having substantially equivalent size and characteristics to one or more actual blocks developed for the second portion of the integrated circuit design.
