Hello everyone,
I am trying to find a way to calculate total wirelength in a place and routed circuit. I apologize if this has already been addressed, but I searched and was unable to find anything helpful. I would like to use Cadence (version 6.1.4-64b) to do this. The idea is to try out several different floorplanning algorithms and test their effectiveness by measuring total interconnect length. I am a grad student at a university, so I do not have access to every tool, but we do have a decent library of tools available. The P&R can be done in either Astro or Cadence Encounter, but I prefer Encounter.
Thank you in advance for your time.
