Floor planning Insights

What is Floor planning?

Floor planning, in the context of integrated circuit (IC) design, is the process of placing functional blocks on a chip layout with the goal of minimizing area, wire length, and power consumption. In architecture and building design, floor planning involves arranging rooms and spaces within a building's footprint to optimize functionality, traffic flow, and aesthetics.
