floorplanning
Designing room placement
Floorplanning is the process of arranging spaces within a building or, in electronics, positioning functional blocks on a chip.
Architects floorplan to optimize room layouts, traffic flow, and natural light.
In integrated circuit design, floorplanning determines where major components sit before detailed routing begins: The floorplanning phase revealed we needed more space for the memory controller.
