An EDA tool to deal with the problems of routing and buffer-insertion in system-on-chip floorplanning simultaneously is developed. This routing and buffering tool mainly consists of a Manhattan routing (MR) algorithm and a maze-based between-buffer routing algorithm. Since the processing speed of its MR is very fast, this tool can be integrated into an iterative floorplanning algorithm to promote the routability of a floorplan solution.
