Spare latch distribution

Aspects of the invention provide for spare latch distribution for an integrated circuit design. In one embodiment, aspects of the invention include a method of generating a computer system for spare latch distribution in an integration circuit design, the method including: providing a computer system operable to: receive design data for the integrated circuit design, the design data including a plurality of latches; segment the integrated circuit design into a plurality of equal sections; determine a latch density within each of the equal sections; and determine a number of spare latches, based on the latch density, for each of the equal sections. Further, it is understood that the above are performed for each clock domain within the integrated circuit design.
