nano route is the best for the routing ,but for placement i feel encounter wont do the best job

Astro for sure

MAGMA gives complete flow from RTL to GDS-II in one

But in my perspective it is not that powerful for optimization of large SoC Designs

 

[spauls]

ICC is also a better option.

nano route is the BEST.

Guys instead of giving which is BEST>. give pros n cons.
I find nano to be efficient.

This is a very subjective question. Each tool has its strength and weakness...depending on the design topology and complexity.
