    Abstract: A method, system, and computer usable program product for latch clustering with proximity to local clock buffers (LCBs) where an algorithm is used to cluster a plurality of latches into a first plurality of groups in an integrated circuit. A number of groups in the first plurality of groups of clustered latches is determined. A plurality of LCBs are added where a number of added LCBs is the same as the number of groups in the first plurality of groups. A cluster radius for a subset of the first plurality of groups of clustered latches is determined, a group in the subset having a cluster radius that is a maximum cluster radius in the subset. The plurality of latches are reclustered into a second plurality of groups responsive to the maximum cluster radius exceeding a radius threshold, the second plurality of groups exceeding the first plurality of groups by one.

    Abstract: Optimizing timing in a VLSI circuit by generating a set of buffer solutions and determining a most critical delay and a sum of critical delays for each solution in the set of solutions. Quantifying a relationship between the most critical delay and the sum of critical delays for each solution. Comparing each solution's quantified relationship to the quantified relationship of each other solution in the set of solutions. Identifying, based on the comparing of each solution's relationship to the relationship of each other solution in the set of solutions, at least one solution in the set of solutions to have a worse relationship between the most critical delay and the sum of critical delays than the other solutions in the set of solutions. Pruning the at least one solution from the set of solutions.

    Abstract: Techniques related to triple and quad coloring of shape layouts are provided. A computer-implemented method comprises coloring, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a shape layout with a plurality of colors in accordance with a defined design rule based on a determination that a first defined shape within the shape layout satisfies a layout specification and a second defined shape within the shape layout satisfies a defined rule.
