SUPPORT DEVICE, DESIGN SUPPORT METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A design support device, comprisinga processor which performs processes of:
- determining an optimum position of a first terminal of a first cell as a first position in which an inter-terminal wiring between the first cell and a second cell connected to the first cell through the first terminal is short;
extracting one or more logical blocks including a logical block having the first terminal from the first cell; and
placing one or more logical blocks so that the first terminal may become close to the first position.

Abstract
A design support device includes placement determination unit, logic extraction unit, and logic placement unit. The placement determination unit performs the process of determining the optimum position of a first terminal of a first cell as a first position in which the inter-terminal wiring between the first cell and a second cell connected to the first cell through the first terminal is short. Furthermore, the logic placement unit performs the process of extracting one or more logical blocks including a logical block having the first terminal from the first cell, and arranging one or more logical blocks so that the first terminal may become close to the first position.
