    摘要: A method of computing timing delays of timing edges of a path of an integrated circuit design. According to the method, all pins within the path are identified, and all timing edges defined by the pins within the path are identified. All pins within the path that are a leading pin of one of the time edge in the path are also identified. For each given pin within the path, a tabulation is made of a number of pins that are upstream from the given pin along a contiguous series of the timing edges in the path. A computational rank is assigned to the given pin based upon the tabulated number for the given pin. The timing edges are ordered for computation based upon the computational rank of the leading pin of each timing edge in the path, to produce an ordered list of timing edges. The timing delays of the timing edges of the path are computed according to the ordered list of timing edges.

    摘要: Clock uncertainty between a receiving cell and a launching cell of a net is estimated by back-tracing a first path from the receiving cell toward the clock source and marking each cell having a predetermined character along the first path. A second path from the launching cell toward the clock source is back-traced to a predetermined marked cell. Clock uncertainty is calculated based on the portion of the first path from the predetermined marked cell to the receiving cell. Clock uncertainty is calculated if a slack does not exceed a margin value. In one embodiment, a clock net in the form of a tree is optimized by forcing a first buffer to the center of gravity of a plurality of buffers having nets without timing violations to maximize a common path from the root to the forced buffer and minimize the non-common paths from the forced buffer to the leaves, thereby minimizing clock uncertainty.
