Theoretical Basis
Christie and Stroobandt later derived Rent's rule theoretically for homogeneous systems and pointed out that the amount of optimization achieved in placement is reflected by the parameter, the "Rent exponent", which also depends on the circuit topology. In particular, values correspond to a greater fraction of short interconnects. The constant in Rent's rule can be viewed as the average number of terminals required by a single logic block since when .

Famous quotes containing the words theoretical and/or basis:
“There are theoretical reformers at all times, and all the world over, living on anticipation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
““The Love that dare not speak its name” in this century is such a great affection of an elder for a younger man as there was between David and Jonathan, such as Plato made the very basis of his philosophy, and such as you find in the sonnets of Michelangelo and Shakespeare. It is that deep, spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect.... It is in this century misunderstood ... and on account of it I am placed where I am now.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
