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 .
