摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provide for eliminating or reducing uniquification of blocks in a chip-level graph of a computer chip, to reduce the size of the graph while still encoding block-specific information. For each group of blocks in the graph generated from a multiply-instantiated block (MIB), a block in the group is selected as a base block. The physical position of the base block is encoded in a reduced graph, and the physical positions of the remaining blocks are encoded as a linear transformation of the physical position of the base block across the face of the chip. Each group of blocks instantiated from the same MIB is represented as a single instance. The reduced graph can be fed into a device configured to perform a circuit component placement process, to identify the placement of circuit components for blocks in the chip in accordance with one or more objectives.

摘要: A method of pruning nets in a circuit design includes, in part, receiving data representative of net layers associated with the circuit design, and accessing a connect database associated with the circuit design. The connect database includes data representative of electrical connections associated with the circuit design. The method further includes, in part, determining whether a marker layer exists in the net layers, and pruning nets that are not connected to the marker layer if the marker layer is determined to exist. The marker layer, which is not stored in the connect database, designates a connection between at least a pair of nets in the circuit design.

摘要: An integrated circuit and method of designing an integrated circuit including an error detection and correction circuit is described. The integrated circuit includes a data-path being arranged between an output of a first register and second register clocked by a system clock. The integrated circuit includes a timing error detection and correction circuit (EDAC) which has a clock unit configured to receive a reference clock and to provide a delayed reference clock. The EDAC includes a plurality of transition detectors coupled to a respective node on the data-path and an error detection circuit coupled to each transition detector. The error detection circuit flags an error if a transition occurs during a time period between a transition of the reference clock and a corresponding transition of the delayed reference clock. A timing correction circuit coupled to the error detection circuit outputs the system clock derived from the delayed reference clock.
