Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
grouping, using computer hardware, a plurality of nets of a circuit design having a same net signature according to distance between drivers of the plurality of nets, wherein each net signature specifies location information for the driver of the net and one or more loads of the net;
generating, using the computer hardware, one or more subgroups for each group based on a time-division multiplexing (TDM) ratio to be used for the circuit design, wherein the TDM ratio specifies a number of signals shared on an interconnect used as an inter-fabric sub-region interconnect; and
for one or more of the subgroups, using the computer hardware, connecting a TDM transmitter circuit to a TDM receiver circuit through a selected interconnect used as the inter-fabric sub-region interconnect, connecting the drivers of the nets of the subgroup to the TDM transmitter circuit, and loads of the nets of the subgroup to the TDM receiver circuit.
