HI all,
I Gone through some of the design..And i am working on physical design currently.What sort of complexity the physical design engineer will face,if number of processor is increased.for example what is the challenges if i have 2 cpu cores instead of 1 cpu core in my design,how it really matter for physical design guy...




thanks,
sathish
 

It is not an issue, the number of core.
 

Increase in number of cores will increase in chip area. This in turn will increase wire length between two cores due to logic spreading. It tends to difficult timing closure.
 
Thanks for your inputs,so apart from the wire length increased due to logic spreading,is there any other reason is there to make, the physical design engineer work to be difficult
