    摘要: A method of calculating electrical interactions of circuit elements in an integrated circuit layout without flattening the entire database that describes the layout. In one embodiment, a hierarchical database is analyzed and resistance and capacitance calculations made for a repeating pattern of elements are re-used at each instance of the repeated pattern and adjusted for local conditions. In another embodiment, a circuit layout is converted into a number of tiles, wherein the resistance and capacitance calculations made for the circuit elements in the center and a boundary region of the tiles are computed separately and combined. Environmental information that affects electrical interaction between circuit elements in different levels of hierarchy is calculated at a lower level of hierarchy so that such calculations do not need to be made for each placement of a repeated cell and so that not all interacting elements need to be promoted to the same hierarchy level to compute the electrical interactions.

    摘要: Techniques for efficiently determining whether an interconnect line has an impedance component value below a maximum specified value. A specified maximum impedance component value is used to limit the number of interconnect lines that are analyzed by a parasitic extraction analysis process. An analysis window is created based upon the characteristics of the interconnect lines and the specified maximum impedance component value. The size of the window corresponds to the minimum length of the interconnect line that would have the specified maximum impedance component value. Once the analysis window has been created, the interconnect lines are examined to determine if any of them reaches to (or beyond) the analysis window, whereby interconnect lines that exceed the specified maximum impedance component value can be identified. If there are any remaining interconnect lines that have not been determined to exceed the specified maximum impedance component value through the use of the analysis window, then the impedance component values of these remaining interconnect lines can be specifically determined using a parasitic extraction process.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for dynamic distributed resource management as can be used in large-scale electronic design automation processes, are disclosed. In some examples of the disclosed technology, a method for dynamic remote resource allocation includes receiving a request for one or more remote resources, identifying one or more resources available to satisfy the request, initiating one or more separate processes for the respective available resources, preparing the respective resources for use as remote resources, by the one or more separate processes running in parallel, and as a given resource of the one or more available resources completes the preparation, allocating the given resource as a remote resource. In some examples, allocated resources are dynamically integrated into the processing of the job. In some examples, as a given resource of the one or more available resources is allocated, tasking the given resource with a portion of the job.
