Objects are assigned to points in a rectangle by dividing the rectangle is divided into a plurality of smaller rectangles and applying an object assignment procedure, such as Kuhn's algorithm, to initially assigned objects in each second rectangle. The initial assignment is performed by calculating a maximal cost of assignment of objects to points, and selecting an assignment of objects having a minimum value of maximal cost, identified by iteratively recalculating the maximal matching assignment based on a midpoint of between the minimum and maximum costs.

A method of analyzing multimode delay in an integrated circuit design to produce a timing model for the integrated circuit design, by inputting a net list, IO arc delays, interconnection arc delays, and constant nets with assigned Boolean functions for the integrated circuit design, propagating the constant nets and assigning Boolean conditions to the IO arc delays and the interconnection arc delays, evaluating timing path delays and conditions for the integrated circuit design, creating the integrated circuit design timing model parameters, and outputting the integrated circuit design timing model. The method is especially desirable for netlists with very complicated mixing logics that include muxing of clocks. In particular, RRAMs are such netlists.

The present invention provides a method of verification of a RRAM tiling netlist. The method may include steps as follows. Properties “memory_number”, “clock_number” and “netlist_part” of all nets and cells of a RRAM tiling netlist are set to a value 0. A boolean function 0 is assigned to all ground nets of the RRAM tiling netlist, and a boolean function 1 is assigned to all power nets of the RRAM tiling netlist. The RRAM tiling netlist is verified for each customer memory Memk, k=1, 2, . . . , N.

The present invention is a method and system for outputting a sequence of commands and data described by a flowchart. In an exemplary aspect of the present invention, a method for outputting a sequence of commands and data described by a flowchart includes steps as follows. A flowchart describing a sequence of commands and data is received. The flowchart includes a plurality of flowchart symbols. Each of the plurality of flowchart symbols is assigned a ROM (read only memory) record. Assigned ROM records are stored in a ROM. A module (e.g., a CKD, or the like) is generated to include the ROM, wherein the module receives as input a CLOCK signal, a RESET signal, an ENABLE signal and N binary inputs x1, x2, . . . xN, and outputs the sequence of commands and data.

A user-defined memory design is mapped to memories of a base platform for an IC that contains a plurality of memory sets, each containing a plurality of memories of a predetermined type. An optimal memory set is selected from the plurality of memory sets for the design by selecting a preference rate for each memory set from the plurality of sets based on the design and its connections to portions of the IC, and selectively assigning the design to one of the memory sets based on the preference rate. The design is optimally mapped to a plurality of memories of the selected memory set by defining an index of the position of each customer memory in the selected memory set. The customer memories in the selected memory set are arranged in an order, and successive numbers of memories of the selected memory set are assigned to each customer memory in order.

A method for creating a logic circuit with an optimized number of AND/OR switches, which evaluates a logic function defined in a high-level description. Through analyzing the dependency relationship among operators used to define the logic function, the present invention may simplify the functional steps used in the high-level description to define the logic function and thus create a logic circuit with an optimized number of AND/OR switches.

The present invention is directed to a parallel processor language, a method for translating C++ programs into a parallel processor language, and a method for optimizing execution time of a parallel processor program. In an exemplary aspect of the present invention, a parallel processor program for defining a processor integrated circuit includes a plurality of processor commands with addresses. The plurality of processor commands may includes a starting processor command, and each of the plurality of processor commands includes one or more subcommands. When the processor integrated circuit executes the parallel processor program, the processor integrated circuit executes the staring processor command first and then executes the rest of the plurality of processor commands based on an order of the addresses. Moreover, when the processor integrated circuit executes a parallel processor command, the processor integrated circuit executes all subcommands included in the parallel processor command in parallel in one clock cycle.

The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus of IC implementation based on a C++ language description. In an exemplary aspect of the present invention, a method for evaluating a C++ description by an IC includes the following steps. First, a C++ description including a C++ program is provided. Then, the C++ program is stored in a first memory module (e.g., a ROM, or the like) of an IC. Next, a scalar input and/or an input array may be provided to the IC. Then, the C++ program may be executed by a control device module of the IC. Next, a scalar output and/or an output array may be read from the IC.
